IV. Conclusions
There is market demand for these products due to:
Consumer Standardization awareness &
culture, (20-25%);
Consumer economic status:
•
•
•
•
Low cost / unreliable operational,
High cost / reliable fully functioning,
Small/medium companies,
Ex: Cisco Router 1721,
Counterfeit 250$ , Genuine 1000$
Very weak local manufacturing of ICT TE;
• Reasonable prices for quality products,
•
Support & perform consumer awareness campaigns.

Adopt balanced Government Policies
encouraging ICT Eq. manufacturing;
towards
Creating manufacturing Competitive environment;
Subsidizing initiation of ICT Eq. Test labs;
Proactive testing training activities;
Aggressive Market surveillance activities;
Raising consumer awareness through campaigns &
introducing Certification Marks,
Regulators R&D departments to work & coop with
research & academic institutes,
Membership & participation in international &
regional standardization meetings, workshops; STGs
