Telecommunications Law and Regulation Book

The telecommunications industry has undergone fundamental change in structure, from that of monopoly to one of competition.

Telecommunications Law and Regulation is fully updated and contains new chapters on Sources of Law, Technology and Terminology, Intellectual Property Issues and Content Regulation, including broadcasting, internet and premium rate services. It is written by many of the leading experts and practitioners in the field, and offers a thorough survey of the law and regulatory structures relating to telecommunications. This book is a highly accessible and thought-provoking book for postgraduate study. It is also essential reading for legal practitioners involved in the communications industry and of interest to management consultants, bankers and accountants who will need to be aware of the legal implications of this fast changing area.Read More
