The Georgian National Communications Commission (GNCC) was established in 2000 as an independent regulatory body to license and oversee the operations of telecommunication and broadcasting companies within the national territory. The GNCC consists of 5 members, appointed by the President of Georgia and approved by Parliament. The Commission is fully independent and not subordinated to any state authorities.The budget is entirely funded through regulation fees paid by companies and telecom operators using the Georgian radiofrequency spectrum. The GNCC does not receive any funding from the state budget. ==Core mandate and functions of the GNCC== * Ensuring fair competition in the communications and broadcasting sector; * Issuing and revoking authorizations for communication and broadcasting companies, seeking to operate in Georgia; * Issuing licenses for communication and broadcasting companies to operate in Georgia; * Overseeing public auctions of Georgia’s frequency bandwidth to competing operators; * Mediating disputes between the communication and broadcasting companies in Georgia; The establishment of the GNCC was deemed as an important step forward in strengthening the transparency and competition of the Georgian telecommunications sector, aimed at the protection of consumer interests and the provision of a fair, equitable, and predictable regulatory environment for market players.
