Mr. Moyo is looking forward to sharing his views in telecom policy and coming up with telecommunications regulations that benefit society as whole and looking at what should and/or should not be regulated by the Regulator/Government and at what levels.

In addition, he is also looking forward to sharing experiences in the preparation of policy, regulations and licenses, processing licensing for spectrum management, monitoring compliance with licensing conditions, and inspection of telecommunications networks and services.
