Publisher's Synopsis
For reasons hard to define, the communications field is not subject to the general rules of competition law and more so now than ever. With the increasingly complex competitive battleground entailed by the bundling of networks and services, matters such as intellectual property of content, consumer protection, privacy and data security come to the fore in a legal environment very different from that in which such matters are handled in other fields. This book sheds clear light on the current international contours of competition law vis-à-vis communications, and provides deeply informed insight and lessons to be learned from experiences in several countries.
