The meeting brought together licensed telecom operators and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to discuss to discuss compliance obligations, the Annual Reporting Form, the compliance reporting cycle and key submission dates, licensing and approvals for submarine cable projects designated as critical infrastructure, as well as fair, non-discriminatory access at landing stations (including co-location) and environmental and social safeguards for new deployments.<\/p>\n<p>Director General Mustafa Yasin Sheikh opened the meeting and emphasised the Authority\u2019s commitment to both compliance and opportunity. \u201cSomalia now has a clear, modern legal framework, and we look to every licensee to meet their obligations in full,\u201d he said. These Regulations create genuine business opportunities, position our country as a strategic connectivity hub for East and Central Africa, and bolster a stronger digital economy that contributes to the national budget. Our responsibility is to uphold the rules and support compliance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The meeting follows the Cabinet\u2019s formal endorsement of the Submarine Cable Regulations on 12 June 2025, which established fair and transparent access conditions for international bandwidth and strengthened Somalia\u2019s pathway to resilient, competitive connectivity.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-447579\" src=\"https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_7100.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"529\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_7100.jpeg 529w, https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_7100-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_7100-330x220.jpeg 330w, https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_7100-420x280.jpeg 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-447580\" src=\"https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_7099.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"529\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_7099.jpeg 529w, https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_7099-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_7099-330x220.jpeg 330w, https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_7099-420x280.jpeg 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-447581\" src=\"https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_7101.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"529\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_7101.jpeg 529w, https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_7101-300x177.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-447582\" src=\"https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_7102.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"593\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_7102.jpeg 593w, https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_7102-300x149.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 593px) 100vw, 593px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mogadishu , (SONNA) \u2014 The National Communications Authority (NCA) today convened a regulatory compliance meeting on the implementation of Somalia\u2019s Submarine Cable Regulations.
