It's All Change Again For Communications Providers

Providers of communications services including business telecoms, broadband, mobile, pay TV and landline services, must prepare for a second wave of key rule changes from Ofcom, warns James Sarjantson, digital, telecoms and commercial partner. These rules will require further significant changes to the way telecoms providers offer their services and will mean changing their contracts with customers.

Background

The 2018 European Electronic Communications Code (EECC) updated the EU regulatory framework for communications services. Although the UK has now left the EU, under the terms of the EU Withdrawal Agreement, the UK still had an obligation to implement this EU directive into domestic law.
