Telecommunications, broadcasting, and the Internet. EU competition policy and regulation.

Given the fundamental changes in the EC telecommunications regulatory regime, as well as the growing case law in this area, the new edition of this best-selling book provides a necessary update for all practitioners. The new regulatory framework for electronic communications entered into force in 2003. This applies to all electronic communications, including broadcasting, satellite, cable and the Internet. The book explains the details of the new provisions and includes developing case law relating to competition in these converging sectors. It is in two main sections: regulatory issues, and the application of EC competition rules to telecoms, broadcasting and the Internet.
