Understand all you need to know about EU telecoms regulation in our popular telecoms masterclass. The course can be complemented by a 1-day seminar on competition law in the telecoms sector, conveniently attached to the masterclass.
RegisterEU telecoms regulation has evolved over the past decades, inspiring other regions of the world. For this reason, this training programme is built on EU experience and framework.
When relevant and applicable, live-examples and case studies from other regions will be shown.
Want to deep-dive into competition law aspects related to the telecoms sector? You can complement the course with a 1-day training on competition law in the telecoms sector (Friday, 26 September). More information here.
