Modules

This module aims to teach you a key aspect of communications law: the European legal framework governing the markets for telecommunications equipment, network and services. Telecommunications law governs the infrastructure underlying all modern electronic communications, traditional fixed-line telephony, mobile telephony and the internet. This module examines the most important facets of telecommunications regulation: liberalisation of the markets, competition policy, consumer rights such as universal service, access to electronic communications networks, including the roll-out of broadband and fibre-optic cables (eg outside urban areas), interconnection issues (between different providers), the regulation of telephone numbers as assets, net neutrality (the question whether differential pricing regimes should apply to different types of content delivered over the network), standardisation of technologies and data protection and privacy issues related to electronic communications networks (such as disclosure and retention obligations in respect of different types of data).
