A Regulator’s Playbook for Driving Broadband Improvement

How Azerbaijan's ICTA uses Ookla data to monitor, validate, and improve national ISP connectivity

Ensuring reliable and competitive broadband performance is critical to a country's digital transformation. While regulators commonly require Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to submit official declarations—such as subscriber counts and reported coverage areas—this often fails to provide the full picture of real-world connectivity being delivered to their constituents.

Azerbaijan’s telecommunications regulatory authority, Information Communication Technology Agency (ICTA), understood that relying solely on operator-reported figures carries the risk of overstated or understated service availability, especially in remote or underserved regions.

Register for this webinar to find out how ICTA uses independent, real-world testing data from Ookla to objectively track performance, validate compliance, and drive meaningful improvements across the sector.

In this live webinar, ICTA will share how they use crowdsourced data to:

  • Monitor KPIs such as monthly average download speeds, trends in provider performance, national averages, and sector-wide development
  • Verify the accuracy of reported coverage and detect mismatches between reported and observed service presence
  • Simulate targeted improvement scenarios for specific ISPs 
  • Implement road-level monitoring along critical transport corridors
