Synopsis

This book analyses the rules applicable to electronic communications networks and services within the European Union. "Electronic communications" encompass all forms of electronic transmission of information, including telecommunications, broadcasting, and the Internet. During the last ten years they have developed substantially to become one of the most important economic sectors in the European Union.The main focus of the book is on the rules concerning market organisation, specifically regulation and competition law. These rules were amended significantly in 2002 with the adoption of the New Regulatory Framework and will develop further in 2003 with the adoption of important implementation measures and substantial changes in the rules relating to competition law. The authors present, in clear and exhaustive terms, what the law of electronic communications in European markets will be in the next ten years. It will be of benefit to those working in this economic sector, as well as to those interested in the model established for all industries with similar features.
