The regulatory framework for communications in Ireland is overseen by the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment and the Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg). Operators have a general right to provide electronic communications networks and services once they have notified ComReg. Spectrum licences are generally technology and service neutral, and licensed spectrum is tradable subject to ComReg approval to prevent anti-competitive effects. ComReg is currently working to release additional spectrum bands such as 700MHz and 3.6GHz to facilitate the development of 5G networks.
Getting the Deal Through - Energy Disputes, Ireland 2018 Matheson Law Firm
This document provides a summary of an article on energy disputes in Ireland. It discusses the following key points:
1) The principal areas of energy development in Ireland are renewable energy, particularly onshore wind, and offshore oil and gas exploration.
2) The Irish government plays an active role in energy resource ownership and development. State-owned companies own and operate much of Ireland's electricity and gas infrastructure. The government also regulates offshore oil and gas development while seeking to promote investment through fiscal policies.
3) Standard forms of contracts are commonly used in the energy sector, including joint operating agreements for offshore oil and gas based on international models. Industry standards help establish liability, including holding parties responsible for negligent acts or o
Helen Kelly, partner and head of Matheson's EU, Competition and Regulatory Group, authored the Irish chapter for Getting the Deal Through - Merger Control 2016.
Irish and EU legislation prohibit the abuse of a dominant position in trade. Dominance is defined as economic strength enabling a firm to behave independently of competitors, customers, and consumers. The purpose is strictly economic and does not protect other interests. Sector-specific regulators like ComReg can designate firms as having significant market power in electronic communications. Cooperation agreements coordinate enforcement between the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission and sector regulators. The dominance rules apply to all undertakings engaged in economic activity for gain, with no entities exempt.
SMBs represent the majority of businesses but have been overlooked by the UC industry. ITSPA is a UK trade body representing VoIP providers that aims to promote VoIP and UC as alternatives to traditional telephony, drive industry standards, and foster consumer trust. While large enterprises have widely adopted UC, hosted UC solutions are now making these collaborative tools accessible to smaller businesses.

Key insights on broadcasting & digital media david mc munnDavid McMunn
Three key points:
1. Major regulatory changes are coming in 2017 from Brexit and new EU directives impacting digital media infrastructure, content, data protection and security.
2. Irish and UK broadcasting and media landscapes will see disruption from these changes plus reviews of national broadcasters and telecom frameworks.
3. Close monitoring and engagement with regulatory authorities will be important for digital media businesses to both minimize risks and maximize opportunities from the changing rules.

This document provides a summary of private equity structures and transactions in Ireland. It discusses common acquisition structures such as holding companies and subsidiaries. Equity in transactions is commonly structured with institutional investors holding preferred shares and management holding ordinary shares of around 5-15%. Management shares typically have vesting provisions and can be compulsory acquired if employment ends. Private equity investors usually enjoy significant veto rights over major corporate actions through shareholders' agreements and board representation. The document also notes some factors influencing transaction timelines such as regulatory approvals and financial disclosures.
The key data protection legislation in Ireland is the Data Protection Act 1988, as amended in 2003, which transposes the EU Data Protection Directive into Irish law. The Data Protection Commissioner is the regulatory authority responsible for ensuring individuals' data protection rights are respected. There are also various sector-specific regulations that impact data protection requirements, such as regulations relating to health data, social work data, electronic communications, and genetic data processing.

The document discusses broadband internet providers and options in Ireland. It lists DSL, mobile, wireless, and satellite providers. It notes that over half of providers solely offer broadband, while some also provide phone services. DSL and satellite have the most providers, offering speeds from 1-24 Mbps. For small businesses, the recommended option is the 3 Ireland mobile MiFi plan, which has no line rental fees and allows connecting multiple devices simultaneously. Broadband adoption in Iceland is also discussed, noting it previously had the highest usage rate but has since dropped in rankings.

Data Work: Bridging Data Journalism and Digital Social ResearchJonathan Gray
This document provides an overview of potential areas of collaboration between data journalism and digital social research. It discusses how both fields involve "data work" using tools and methods to analyze large datasets. However, the tools and approaches are sometimes attuned to different objectives - journalism seeks compelling narratives while research emphasizes rigorous analysis. The document outlines some common data-focused roles in both fields like data journalists and programmer-journalists. It also provides examples of different types of digital research methods that could potentially be adapted for journalism work.

This document provides a summary of key developments in telecoms and media regulation in Ireland in the past year. It discusses three major developments: 1) A new media merger regime came into effect in October 2014 that will significantly impact future market consolidation. 2) There was consolidation in the mobile sector with Three Ireland acquiring O2 Ireland and plans for new market entry. 3) Compliance continues to be a priority for the regulator ComReg, which imposed fines for breaches of consumer regulations. Sector-specific regulation plays a significant role in Ireland alongside the general competition regime. The attitudes towards issues like net neutrality, over-the-top services, and spectrum allocation are also summarized.
The telecoms, audio-visual media distribution, and internet sectors in the Dominican Republic have been liberalized and opened to competition. The key legislation governing these sectors is the General Telecommunications Law #153-98. The main regulatory authority is the Dominican Telecommunications Institute (Indotel). While foreign investment and ownership are permitted in telecoms and internet sectors, in the audio-visual media sector the controlling investor of a broadcasting entity must be Dominican. The telecoms market is dominated by Claro, Orange, and Tricom, which were recently acquired by Altice, S.A. Licenses from Indotel are required to use radio spectrum and concessions are needed to provide telecom services

Webinar: The Radio Equipment Directive and European StandardstechUK
Three new Directives were adopted in 2014 to harmonize regulations for radio equipment, electromagnetic compatibility, and low voltage equipment across the EU. The Radio Equipment Directive (RED) of 2014 replaced the 1999 Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive and expanded its scope to cover all equipment transmitting or receiving radio waves. It places new emphasis on efficient spectrum use and improving radio receivers. Manufacturers will need to ensure their equipment meets the essential requirements for health and safety, electromagnetic compatibility and avoidance of interference laid out in the RED. ETSI develops harmonized standards that define technical requirements and allows manufacturers to demonstrate compliance, helping to allow interoperability while protecting spectrum use.

A telecommunication system allows for the exchange of information over distances using electronic means. It consists of a transmitter that converts information to a signal, a transmission medium that carries the signal, and a receiver that converts the signal back to usable information. Telecommunication signals can be analog or digital. Pakistan's major telecommunication service providers include Mobilink, Ufone, Zong, Warid Telecom, and Telenor. These companies offer cellular, internet, and landline services across Pakistan.
