Electronic Communications

The electronic communications sector is a vast and dynamic sector spanning infrastructure based issues related to fixed, mobile, television, internet services and other related matters.  As technology continues to advance and the digital divide continues to expand, legal frameworks must  cope with issues from injecting competition into a monopolised market, to issues such as convergence, next generation access and high speed data transfers, making regulation of the sector a truly challenging endeavor.
