Telecommunications Law

Telecommunications law regulates the telecommunications industry. The liberalization of the telecommunications market and the rapid technological development of the industry pose challenges for the legal system.

In today's society, telecommunications are more important than ever before. A large part of humanity carries a smartphone with them at every turn —we are reachable almost 24 hours a day and can network with people in all parts of the world at the click of a button. This interconnectedness creates a wide range of opportunities for companies and private individuals alike. However, the flip side is that these opportunities always come with some risks and challenges.

Among other things, companies must observe due diligence obligations and regulations —and not only on a national level. Aspects related to data protection are also of far-reaching importance in the context of telecommunications. In particular, the past has shown that a possible data protection scandal can have a fatal effect on the reputation of a company on the one hand and can also result in serious legal sanctions on the other. Consumers are also becoming increasingly aware of the importance of their data and usually attach great importance to the protection of their privacy.
