Instead, a market- relevant and consumer-oriented alternative would consist in promoting rules which account of the fact that different types of services merit different rules. Setting stronger consumer protection rules can be consistent with the promotion of ICT deployment in Europe, i.e. in setting specific rules for information society service providers depending on whether they are a concerned party in the provision of a business-to-consumer good or service, while balancing the need to safeguard the smoothness and speed of online business transactions.
