China's 2021 Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) marks a significant regulatory intervention, but limited research explores a nuanced understanding of how platforms translate and implement this law in practice. Through a critical discourse analysis of the privacy policies of four leading Chinese digital platforms—Baidu, Taobao, WeChat, and Douyin—this study examines how these platforms construct, characterize, and operationalize privacy, compliance, and user rights in the PIPL era through their governance practices. The analysis identifies four strategic discursive patterns: legitimizing data extraction as lawful and socially beneficial; framing strong privacy protection as moral responsibility; circumscribing user rights within platform-defined parameters; and managing policy updates as a unilateral governance mechanism. These strategies demonstrate how PIPL is enacted in a layered and performative manner, transforming legal obligations into discursive tools that consolidate platform authority and normalize asymmetric data relations. This study contributes to understanding platform governance scholarship by illustrating how privacy policies function as governance instruments, navigating regulatory demands while mediating state-platform-user relationships. It also provides practical insights for regulators to strengthen enforcement mechanisms and public accountability of user protection within China's rapidly evolving digital ecosystem, while offering comparative value for understanding privacy governance across global regulatory frameworks within platformized environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"50 3","pages":"Article 103147"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146193289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared with the EU and U.S., China's focus on data processors and an ex-ante regulatory design has led to this approach. The <em>New Scheme</em> intended to lower information costs and expand data market. Whether this design works in practice remains uncertain. Building on Smith and North's view, this paper use local legislation and judicial decisions as indicators of how the New Scheme takes effect, and develops a transaction cost framework that covers information, bargaining, and enforcement costs. Using 47 local regulations, 33 administrative rules, nine representative judicial cases, five industry reports and four interviews in exchanges, we show that the <em>New Scheme</em> has produced two coexisting trading pathways. On-exchange transactions, supported by local legislation and state-run data exchanges, follow the Scheme more closely and reduce information costs, and their trading volume has grown rapidly. Off-exchange transactions, however, still dominate total trading volume and continue to expand. This pattern is driven by high entry barriers to exchanges, unclear delimitation of the three rights in local legislation, and courts' comparable protection of unregistered data. These factors limit reductions in bargaining and enforcement costs for on-exchange trade. We propose that <em>New Scheme</em> calls for gradual judicial adjustment rather than immediate codification, and that courts can adopt a more proactive stance. We also recommend improvements to market institutions, including making transactions to on- or off-exchange depending on data characteristics, a non-mandatory registration within exchange and a clearer separation of the three decomposed rights.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"50 3","pages":"Article 103145"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146193165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores the key antecedents of multihoming strategies (expansion strategy and sustainment strategy) among e-commerce sellers and examines their associations with business performance (financial and non-financial performance). To achieve this objective, we conducted an online survey targeting 646 sellers registered as e-commerce business operators in Statistics Korea. Key findings suggest that sellers with higher education levels use multiple platforms more efficiently, adapt quickly to market changes, and maintain multihoming longer to maximize exposure and reduce risk. Conversely, female and older sellers tend to sustain longer periods of multihoming. Sellers with extensive marketing resources, such as diverse product categories or offline stores, tend to multihome on fewer platforms for shorter durations, whereas those offering popular product tends to multihome across more platforms for longer periods. The research highlights that while the expansion and sustainment of multihoming strategies are generally positively associated with performance, exceeding a certain threshold can lead to adverse effects, underscoring the importance of adopting an appropriate multihoming strategy to drive commercial success. These findings offer valuable guidance for platform operators, sellers, and policymakers in navigating the dynamic e-commerce landscape.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"50 2","pages":"Article 103107"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145957866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on 32 semi-structured interviews with broadcasters, policymakers and other stakeholders, the study highlights how the costs and benefits of digitisation are unevenly distributed across different levels of the radio ecosystem. At the micro level, audiences face financial and practical barriers to adopting DAB+, with limited incentives to replace still-functioning FM devices. At the mezzo level, broadcasters express concern about declining audience reach, advertising revenues, and increased competition from international streaming services, while incumbents resist disruption to their entrenched market positions. At the macro level, digitisation promises benefits such as greater diversity and improved energy efficiency, but also raises risks of digital exclusion, particularly for socioeconomically disadvantaged and older listeners. The analysis demonstrates that a rapid FM switch-off could destabilize the broadcasting market and undermine universal access to radio services. The study concludes that a successful transition requires a negotiated policy process in which governments balance private and public interests, short- and long-term costs, and competing technological pathways. Rather than privileging DAB+ as the dominant successor to FM, policymakers should adopt a platform-neutral and future-proof regulatory framework that recognises the dynamic and uncertain nature of technological development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"50 2","pages":"Article 103116"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145957624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
