MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT OF TELECOM LEGISLATION _____ 53 EN 6 EN 1. STATE OF TR ANSPOSITION OF THE R EVISED EU FR AMEWORK To date (June 2012), there are four Member States that have not yet transposed the new Telecom Framework in their national legislation. This is well beyond the deadline set by the European Parliament and Council of EU of 25 May 2012, so the European Commission has launched infringement procedures against these Member States. The revised EU Telecom Framework (Citizen's rights and Better Regulation amending Directives) was adopted by the European Parliament and Council of the EU in November 2009. It amends five different existing EU Directives (Framework Directive, Access Directive, Authorisation Directive, Universal Service Directive and the e-Privacy Directive). The deadline for transposition into national legislation was 25 May 2011. A new Regulation setting up the European Body of Telecoms Regulators (BEREC) was also adopted. The BEREC office was established in Riga and became financially autonomous in September 2011. In July 2011, the European Commission sent letters of formal notice to the 20 Member States which had not notified measures to implement in full the new EU telecoms rules into the ir national law at that time. At the end of November 2011, i.e. six months after the deadline for transposing the new EU telecoms rules into national law, 16 Member States which had failed to do so received a reasoned opinion: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia and Spain. To date (June 2012), 23 out of 27 Member States have notified the full transposition of the revised Telecom Framework. The Member States which have not yet notified the full transposition of one or two of the amending Directives are Belgium, Poland, Portugal and Slo ve nia. In the absence of transposition and notification, the Commission has launched infringement proceedings in the form of a referral to the Court of Justice of the European Union, including a request for financial sanctions1. no notification partial notification 1 http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/12/524&format=HTML&aged=0&language=EN &guiLanguage=en EN 7 EN notification full notification (both Directives) Member Better regulation Citizen Rights Both State Directive Directive Directives BE BG CZ DK DE EE IE EL ES FR IT CY LV LT LU HU MT NL AT EN 8 EN Member Better regulation Citizen Rights Both State Directive Directive Directives PL PT RO SI SK FI SE UK TOTAL 1 2 24 1 3 23 23 2. NATIONAL R EGULATOR Y AUTHORITIES (NRA) While the need for NRAs to be independent from the market seems to be more or less consolidated and accepted by the Member States, with some notable exceptions, dealt with by infringement proceedings, the main trends of the reporting year (2011) reveal that some Member States are reluctant to fully recognize the enhanced political independence requirements of Article 3(3a) of the Framework Directive. 2.1. Independence and organisation With regard to the requirement for effective structural separation, the Commission was able to close in 2011 three infringement proceedings against Ro ma nia, Lithuania and Latvia, after these Member States shifted regulatory responsibilities away from the Ministries which were also performing activities associated with the ownership and control of electronic communications networks or services providers. By contrast, a Letter of Formal Notice was addressed to the Estonian Authorities, in October 2011, since the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications performs regulatory functions in the area of spectrum regulation, numbering and of universal service and, at the same time, it performs activities associated with the ownership or control of an undertaking providing electronic communications networks and/or services.

  • Network-Political Resiliency
    Network-Political Resiliency A Classification of Internet Resiliency by Country Chloe Reynolds & Saghar Tamaddon Network-Political Resiliency 2 Abstract Recent Internet disruptions in Libya, Egypt, Syria, Burma and Nepal beg the question, “How vulnerable is any country to an Internet access disruption by its government?” This paper seeks to answer that question by taking a look at both internet infrastructure and politics to create a „Network-Political Resiliency‟ (NPR) classification. The network infrastructure metric for each country is based on Roberts and Larochelle‟s (2010) number of „Points of Control‟ (POCs). POCs are the most influential Autonomous Systems (ASs) in a country‟s Internet network. Roberts and Larochelle determined the POCs based on a new AS relationship inference method, applied to data from The Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA). Three different political metrics are used, gathered from two sources: a) OpenNet Initiative‟s Political Internet Filtering score (see map in Appendix 2), b) OpenNet Initiative‟s overall Internet Filtering score, and c) Reporters Without Borders‟ Internet Enemies Report (see map in Appendix 3). The combination of these metrics results in a final NPR classification. In short, only a small portion of countries has a "high" NPR classification, and most fall into the low and very low resiliency categories. Given that Internet access is felt by many to be a matter of human rights, national NPR levels can be a red flag for concerned entities, such as human rights organizations. NPR ratings can also serve as a call for increasing network infrastructure. Network-Political Resiliency 3 Political Infrastructure of the Internet Proponents of open Internet access and net neutrality argue that unfiltered widely and freely available Internet access is a democratization tool (Reporters Without Borders, 2011).

CISP agreed to forward the document for declassification by the Committee for Information, Computer and Communications Policy (ICCP).

Although video service remains core to the cable industry’s business model, cable TV’s market share has been dropping significantly with intense competition from direct broadcast satellite services (DBS), Internet protocol Television (IPTV) services, digital terrestrial television services (DTT) and finally from over-the-top (OTT) service providers that supply video over an existing data connection from a third party.

    Diffusion and Impacts of the Internet and E-Commerce: The Case of Denmark August 2004 NIELS BJØRN-ANDERSEN KIM VIBORG ANDERSEN Center for E-Commerce Copenhagen Business School, Denmark E-mail: {nba, andersen}@cbs.dk Please refer all correspondence about this paper to [email protected] This research is a part of the Globalization and E-Commerce project of the Center for Research on Information Technology and Organizations (CRITO) at the University of California, Irvine. This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 0085852. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation. ______________________________________________________________________________ Center for Research on Information Technology and Organizations University of California, Irvine | www.crito.uci.edu ABSTRACT Danish companies are ahead of those in the U.S. in B2C e-commerce. With the exception of Germany, Denmark is leading the group of 10 countries included in the globalization of e- commerce survey data, forming the basis for this report. Yet the surveyed countries are performing substantially better than Denmark in B2B online sales. Danish companies have high levels of investment in IT, the lowest barriers for e-commerce, and the highest levels of e-commerce drivers. Most indicators for e-commerce readiness, such as use of e-mail, intranet, EDI, extranet, and the provision of mobile services, show that the Danish business sector has adopted the technologies that foster e-commerce development. Yet our analysis also points to several alarming and surprising findings.
