Technological advances strongly influence developments in international telecommunications services. This book illustrates how international institutional and regulatory frameworks implement technological advances in the field of telecommunications. These frameworks canalize technology on the one hand and guide legal implementation of the actual international connections on the other. International telecommunications links are implemented by means of geostationary satellite or through submarine cables. The regulations and organizations dealing with satellite connections differ significantly from international regulations and organizations in the field of submarine cables. In Legal Aspects of Implementing International Telecommunication Links the concepts of `allocation' and `interconnection' are used to bridge the gap between these two different domains. Following a characterization and discussion of these concepts, The actual legal implementation of both types of connections is described in detail.
Technological advances strongly influence developments in (international) telecommunication services. The concept of the "Global Village", originating from McLuhan, becomes more and more a reality. The world lies at the tips of our fingers. This book tries to assert how the international institutional and regulatory frameworks implement technological advances in the field of telecommunications. These frameworks canalize technology on the one hand and guide the legal implementation of the actual international connections on the other. Focus is on the regulation of the construction of specific international telecommunication connections, i.e., submarine cable systems and satellite connections. The research was concluded January 1990. Occasionally, references to documents and literature of a later date are incorporated at relevant places in the notes.
This book provides a clear and thorough account of the process leading up to the revision of the International Telecommunication Regulations (ITRs) one of the four treaties administered by the ITU. The author’s inside view of the events and his legal analysis of the new ITRs, are different from that what has been aired in most other accounts to date. His systematic approach shows how much of the criticism of the WCIT-12 process and of the ITRs themselves, is unjustified. This book provides the most accurate view to date of what the ITRs really mean and of what really happened at WCIT-12, which was undoubtedly a key event in the history of telecommunication policy and which is likely to have significant long-term effects. The book covers in some detail the events leading to the non-signature of the treaty by a significant number of states, outlines possible consequences of that split between states, and offers possible ways forward. The book includes a detailed article-by-article analysis of the new ITRs, explaining their implications and concludes with recommendations for national authorities. It concludes with an analysis of events from the point of view of dispute resolution theory, offering suggestions for how to avoid divisive outcomes in the future. "This is an excellent book, and quite rich and comprehensive. The topic is important and the book will surely be of interest to regulators, diplomats, policy experts, and all those who participated in WCIT. The author is uniquely qualified to write an analysis of the new ITRs and an account of the Conference. This book will be a good reference for the next Plenipotentiary Conference to be held in 2014 which is going to discuss follow-up to WCIT-12." Naser al-Rashedi, United Arab Emirates. "This is an authoritative expert account of a moment of high significance for vital issues with respect to international networks." Professor Dan Schiller, University of Illinois. "This is an excellent and timely work." Professor Ian Walden, Queen Mary, University of London. "Interested persons, businesses and governments can draw their policies from the assessments of a telecommunications insider as presented in this book. The manifold arguments enlightening the interpretation of the provisions of the ITRs might become an invaluable guidance for those who apply the ITRs in the future." Professor Dr. Rolf H. Weber, University of Zurich.
Discusses the Legal aspects of launching and operating different Satellite systems: Direct Broadcasting System, Remote Sensing, and Military; also general responsibility and liability principles.
This article focuses on the regulations and instruments used in, the implementation of specific international telecommunication connection, i.e., submarine cable and satellite systems. It concentrates on the legal setting for legislating/regulating, international public telecommunication systems, namely, those systems to which the general public has access after paying a fee to the owners of a telecommunication facility. These systems provide the public with telecommunication services, such as telephone, telex and data communication services. No attention will be given to the regulation of private international telecommunication facilities (SWIFT or SITA). Legal arrangements applying to satellite systems differ considerably from those applying to submarine cables and common concepts will be presented to bridge the gap between these two different domains. In that sense an overall analysis of what used to be separate areas of law will be developed. This can be achieved by distinguishing three issues: (i) allocation of resources; (ii) interconnection between systems; (iii) the legal instruments used in the construction phase. This distinction enables potential users of (commercial) space telecommunications to compare both regulatory regimes, and decide which type of connection is, from a legal point of view, most effective in achieving the users' goal: Constructing a satellite telecommunication system or opt for the construction of a submarine cable connection.
Gain a thorough understanding of the dynamics of today's mobile telecommunications standards with this unique new resource. The book examines the development and adoption trajectories of major European standards, such as UMTS, GSM, ERMES, and TETRA. It presents a framework that analyzes the factors that influenced each standard's level of success, and includes the most-comprehensive case studies on these standards.
Designed to provide the legal practitioner with the basic tools to understand the international telecommunications field, this document was originally prepared in connection with the 1983 Conference on International Telecommunications. An introductory chapter focuses on where policy is made and lists international organizations involved with telecommunications policy; United States Government Executive Branch Agencies, their functions, and staff; and relevant congressional committees and their key members, staff, and current interest in international telecommunications. Other pertinent legislative branch organizations are also described. Separate chapters then cover the International Telecommunication Union, regulatory environment, transborder data flow, telecommunications and trade policy, and intellectual property. For each topic, an introductory essay describing important developments and major concerns is followed by selected materials which include United States laws, regulations, and proposed legislation; judicial and administrative decisions; treaties and agreements; a description of the ongoing activities of key international organizations; a description of the Executive Branch Interagency and Public Advisory Committees; a selected bibliography; and additional information. A glossary and conclusions are provided. (LMM)
