Summary:To shed light on the direction of electronic communications development in the EU, focus is on what has happened since the 2003 entry into force of 2002 legislation responsible for the regulatory framework. Discussion opens with a review of the broader Lisbon strategy context in which the expansion of electronic communications is occurring, identifying the special programs of action designed to stimulate information & communications technology development. Market access & public interest issues related to the 2003 regulatory framework's implementation are examined before looking at key trends in the market's evolution. Attention is also given to terminal equipment, network security, & data retention, as well as to the new European Commission's legislative proposals, new market recommendation, & the international roaming proposal.
