GOVERNANCE AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORKS FOR ADVANCED CIVIL TELECOMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE

Abstract

This article examines the fundamental transformation of Civilian Telecommunications Infrastructure (CTI), which by 2026 has evolved from a service industry into a critical cyber-physical macrosystem. The author analyzes the burgeoning divergence between the pace of technological innovation (5G-Advanced, 6G, SDN/NFV, Edge Computing) and the inertia of traditional regulatory institutions. Based on systems analysis and the case study method (Orange, Starlink, Rakuten Mobile), the research substantiates the necessity of transitioning from rigid state administration (government) to flexible models of multi-level governance (governance). The work proposes a concept of hybrid governance that integrates Zero Trust Architecture (ZRA), dynamic compliance mechanisms and digital twins as proactive oversight tools. Particular emphasis is placed on issues of cyber resilience in the context of the quantum threat (Q-day), algorithmic transparency (XAI) and the implementation of ecological imperatives (Green ICT). As a result of a comparative analysis of approaches in the EU, USA and Asian countries, universal principles of effective regulation have been identified, ensuring a balance between technological sovereignty and global network connectivity. The article establishes a scientifically substantiated basis for the creation of adaptive regulatory frameworks capable of serving as a catalyst for long-term progress in an era of global digital uncertainty.
