Features: This book takes the approval of the new UK Communications Act by the British Parliament on July 17, 2003, as a to systematically analyze and deeply explore legal regulatory issues during the period of telecommunications technology transformation. One of the key aspects of the 2003 UK Communications Act replacing the 1984 Telecommunications Act is the establishment of OFCOM (Office of Communications) to replace the original five industry regulatory bodies (including the Independent Television Commission ITC, the Broadcasting Standards Commission BSC, the Office of Telecommunications Regulation OFTEL, the Radio Authority RAu, and the Radiocommunications Agency RA). It is evident that the reforms in regulation, adaptation to future telecommunications technology development, and the need for triad convergence in the UK's new Communications Act hold significant reference value for China. The book is divided into 10 chapters. Chapter 1 elaborates on the significance of legal regulation from the perspective of information communication. Chapters 2 to 9 discuss legislative scope, access and interconnection, universal service, numbering and domain names, data protection, communications regulations, telecommunications competition, and the process of internationalization. Chapter 10 introduces telecommunications technology, which not only completes the book's structural system but also meets the needs of different readers. The book's distinctive feature lies in its in-depth and accessible comparative studies on telecommunications globalization, the revision of the U.S. Telecommunications Act of 1996, and the European Union's telecommunications regulations, making it highly valuable for the birth and future implementation of China's Telecommunications Law. The book is rich in content and offers novel perspectives, making it suitable for learning and reference by government departments, research institutions, and telecommunications industry professionals. It can also serve as a teaching reference book for high-level training in relevant universities.
