Telecommunications Law and Regulation

Since the last edition of this book was published, numerous changes have occurred in the telecommunications sector, at a national, European, and international level. Telecommunications Law and Regulation takes these changes into account, including an examination of the adoption of Directive 2014/61/EU on the measures to reduce the cost of deploying electronic communication networks; Directive 2014/53/EU on radio equipment; Regulation 2015/2120 on 'open internet access' and roaming; and the implications of Brexit on the UK telecommunications sector.

There is also coverage of substantial regulatory developments in US law since 2012, including the FCC's order on 'Protecting and Promoting the Open Internet' (March 2015).

Written by leading experts, it is essential reading for legal practitioners and academics involved in the telecommunications industry.
