Although the last decade has witnessed the phenomenal growth worldwide of mobile terminal equipment and wireless networks and services, commentators advise that we ‘ain’t seen nothing yet’ and are merely at the start of what will be possible with the ‘marriage of high-quality, super-fast mobile connections and billions of devices’. Various factors have contributed to these developments which may ultimately bridge the ‘digital divide’, including the evolution of mobile broadband internet technologies, the migration of telecommunications providers to IP networks, the development of reasonably priced ‘smart’ handsets, constantly evolving digitized mobile multimedia and other content, mobile software applications and services, maturing markets for mobile voice telephony, and the growing demand for ubiquitous internet connectivity.","PeriodicalId":260209,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Law and Regulation","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126063934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At a basic level, a licence permits a telecommunications provider to offer specified equipment, networks, and/or services, and often conditions that permission on certain requirements. Licensing, however, can control market entry and, therefore, can be used to shape the market by limiting, or not, the number of players or the types of services. Licensing can create legal certainty for new entrants where the telecommunications regulatory or general legal framework is not comprehensive or otherwise adequate. Here, conditions and rights integrated into licences can substitute for such frameworks. Similarly, eg where private property rights might be uncertain, the licence can serve as a contract between governments and investors, a departure from the traditional legal nature of a licence. As a binding contract, it could guarantee exclusivity, ensure due process as well as impose performance obligations, eg market penetration or network roll-out requirements. Investors might otherwise be reluctant to commit the capital required to roll out new technologies and/or networks to improve and update services. Without performance obligations, countries might be unwilling to involve private parties in running the state-owned incumbent. Licensing can also foster competitive markets by imposing obligations on incumbents to level","PeriodicalId":260209,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Law and Regulation","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129655403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Overarching principles are found in the Audiovisual Media Services Directive, which takes an approach described as technologically neutral, but established two top-level categories of regulation, for television (or linear) services and on-demand (or non-linear) services. In the case of television services, a wide range of standalone works and comprehensive Sections or chapters on the regulation of broadcasting are available. As such, the focus here (with a view to the interests of readers) is on licensing of content and multiplex services by Ofcom and the handling of complaints about those services, with a bias towards the standard licences for services on cable, satellite, internet, and digital terrestrial platforms, and the regulation of DTT multiplexes and of on-demand services, as opposed to detailed description of the BBC and the commercial public service broadcasters. Indeed, the European Court of Human Rights has regularly found that the regulation of communications infrastructure can have a real impact on the receiving and imparting of information.","PeriodicalId":260209,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Law and Regulation","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122438413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
