Description
In the context of the EU’s digital strategy, the European Commission is conducting a significant review of the rules governing the online environment, which have been applying for the last two decades in the region. Several important regulations will change the level playing field as the Data Act, the Data Governance Act, the Digital Services Act (DSA) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Similarly, the US agencies, the AAA and other agencies around the world are paving the way to regulating the digital economy. In parallel, antitrust and competition law are still very much relevant and topical. What will be the impact in the telecommunications industry, the internet, advertising and e-commerce ecosystems? The session will analyse what changing are occurring in the different regions around the world and how the digital map will look in the forthcoming years.
