Telecommunications laws provide the tools for the privatisation of state-owned telecommunications enterprises, for the liberalisation of the provision of telecommunications networks, services and terminal equipment, for the increasing pan-European harmonisation of the regulatory framework, and for the merging of telecommunication and media applications, leading to `multimedia' services. The steady and relentless changes in telecommunications laws in the European Union, together with the dramatic developments in Central and Eastern Europe, have necessitated the publication of a third, enlarged edition of Telecommunications Law in Europe. The book contains contributions from the European Telecommunications Law Practice Group of Baker & McKenzie. Together, they analyze the national telecommunications laws of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Egypt, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, the Russian Federation, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom, using the emerging EU telecommunications law as a frame of reference.
