The ability for everyday devices to connect with each other and with people is a hot topic. The Nigerian Communications Commission identified a need for the Nigerian legal system to be aware of present and future possibilities, grey areas and learnings from other countries that have taken proactive steps to prepare for this inevitable future. Learnings from the EU, USA, China etc are considered. It is comforting to know that no country claims to have its legislation ahead of the tech innovations curve, but the catchup game needs to be at a pace that dragnets the present effectively and constantly repositions for the unknown future. Regulation should also be smart. Rather than get bogged down regulating aluminium weight for car use, fuel grades for combustion, rather regulate speed (protect lives) and drive regulation by principles that outlive wherever tech wants to go next. The session was eye-opening for a good number of the aged and candid judges, but it was gladdening to see the mindset: mobile tech is not "that thing", it has to be used, understood and admitted as evidence. The nerds and more tech savvy should help these 'learned ones' to better embrace tech and help them do their work better for joint good! Attendee/delegate feedback was candid and NCC hopes to build on this in the coming years.
