In the light of the decision of the Government of Georgian to declare a state of emergency, the Georgian National Communications Commission acknowledges the recommendations issued by the Government and the National Disease Control Centre and is fully switching to remote working mode. It is GNCC’s priority to protect the health of its employees, as well as the public as a whole. The Commission has therefore already implemented appropriate technical measures and is ready to operate in online mode.  

To prevent the spread of the virus, dozens of private and public institutions have already switched to remote working mode. This is something that GNCC welcomes and is proud of. Switching to online working mode would have been impossible without the existence of highly developed telecommunications systems and platforms. It confirms that Georgia is among the technologically highly advanced countries.

To ensure that development of the telecommunications sector proceeds uninterrupted, GNCC undertook all necessary technical measures to continue working at full capacity. The Commission implemented the ZOOM online conference system to conduct remote meetings and conferences. Participants will have the opportunity to join GNCC meetings from their computers, smartphones and tablets alike. 

GNCC has notified all companies under its regulation about the latest developments and provided them with instructions for participating in online sessions. The meetings will also be streamed live on the Commission’s official website and YouTube channel. GNCC has carried out full technical adaptation process, ensuring that all employees are able to work without leaving their homes, participating in online conferences and meetings. With the help of virtual protected networks, employees will also have unlimited access to the  internal resources of the Commission, ensuring a smooth remote working process.  

When calling the GNCC office number, citizens will now be able to reach representatives from specific departments directly, as the system will transfer them automatically.

The public will be able to continue communicating with GNCC without interruption through the official website, social media and by telephone. Letters and complaints can be sent by consumers and authorised entities through one of the online platforms (official website:  www.comcom.ge, social media: https://www.facebook.com/comcomge/, e-mail: post@comcom.ge).

In the current environment, fast and effective communication will be of crucial importance.
