The discussion moves from the technical possibilities (real-time monitoring, automated compliance, predictive analytics) to the institutional conditions required for adoption (capacity, legal frameworks, inclusion), and finally to the role of digital tools in building a smarter, outcomes-focused regulatory stateRegulatory state. In this regard, the network industry regulators can draw lessons from the banking sector where regulators have made significant strides to improve regulatory monitoring and reporting.
