Description

This course explores two major topics, after dealing with a range of threshold issues. The threshold issues are: introduction to policy and regulatory context; communications technologies and business models; industry structure and spectrum management; overview of trade practices and fair trading laws. The major topic areas are: telecommunications competition regulation; consumer protection. The course aims to provide students with a practical, applied understanding of the laws in these two key areas, how the current regulatory framework has evolved, and the ways regulation might change in the future.
