商品簡介
Conradi, an attorney who advises clients on commercial and regulatory issues in the communications and technology sectors, compiles eight chapters that analyze UK communications regulation, with consideration of telecoms, communications-specific data protection and privacy regulations, and content rules. Attorneys from the UK address the five 2002 European Union directives--framework, access, universal service, authorization, and data protection and privacy in electronic commerce--and how they have been implemented in the UK, and the upcoming reform process and related changes. Within chapters is discussion of conditions imposed on specific businesses, wireless telegraphy, the legal powers of the Office of Communications (OFCOM), the 2003 Communications Act, the 2007 Audiovisual Media Services Directive, the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, other acts, and changes made to the European Union framework for telecoms regulation in 2003, along with the functional separation of British Telecom in 2005 and the creation of Openreach. They do not cover generic data protection rules or broadcasting regulations. Distributed by ISBS. Annotation c2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
