Abstract

This paper examines how a standards-based pro-competition legal interoperability framework can be applied to ensure future Internet services markets remain open, innovative and competitive. We assess regulatory intervention according to the code solution or solutions used. We analyse the regulatory shaping of 'code' standards - the technological environment of the Internet comprising hardware, software and their interactions, notably in the protocols and standards used to achieve interoperability ' to achieve more economically efficient and socially just regulation. We go on to explore standards-based solutions that involve both competition analysis and interoperability requirements in strategic communications sectors. We conclude that such standards frameworks are urgently needed to enable citizens to make most effective use of the opportunities offered by new information and communications technologies (ICTs).
