Regulación básica de las telecomunicaciones

The dizzying change in telecommunications in the world and in Colombia is a reality, which unfortunately is not observed with the same intensity in the law regulating telecommunications, leading to serious difficulties for its development, for the role that the regulator must fulfill and for the clarity of the rules among the operators competing in the market, and ultimately for the user, who sees limited his right to access the best technologies. All this affects competition and the general interest implicit in telecommunications. Phenomena such as the convergence of services and networks; a second phase of the competition regime initiated in the nineties, seeking its consolidation; the introduction of new technologies, where the Internet remains the focus, and the development of broadband, have highlighted the need to understand the regulation and the trends and changes required for citizens to access these benefits and to consolidate the information society with rules of equity. This work analyzes such situations and for that incorporates an introduction to the law and regulation of telecommunications, its general framework; the conflicts that arise with the legal system, which slowly adapts to reality; the barriers to market entry; the basic institutions of the sector; management systems; regulatory bodies (ANRS) and the nature of their acts and functions; and finally, the trends of the new telecommunications law. All this with a comparative law perspective with the major sources of Latin American law, European Community law, and U.S. law.
