Regulating Europe's information highways

Article Abstract:

The European Commission is clearly aware of the need to establish a regulatory system within the European Union which will address the interests of all parties involved in the rapidly developing network of information superhighways. There are specific characteristics about information superhighways, such as the transmission of material in digital form, which make new regulations necessary. At present, many of the laws and regulations relating to the transmission of information are nationally based, and it is now time for regulation at European Union level.
