ICT Law: Policy and Regulation presents a systematic guide to ICT law in the context of the specific policies that shape it, with explanation of technical and economic factors to assist practical understanding.

Laws governing ICT are numerous, relating to matters as diverse as telecoms market regulation, administration of resources like radio frequencies and domain names, creation of utilities such as electronic money and electronic signatures and practices such as eprocurement and electronic privacy and lawful surveillance.

This comprehensive title will prove invaluable for practitioners who struggle to get to grips with this broad area and provides a clear and succinct guide on navigating this wide and complex field. The book is fully up-to-date with the latest legislative changes including the major EU reform of the Telecoms Package.

ICT Law: Policy and Regulation also provides a commentary companion to the Butterworths E-Commerce and IP Law Handbook and cross-references extensively to this.
