Equitable transit charges for multiadministration telecommunications networks

- This article aims at placing in an historical perspective the changes that gave birth in the Eighties and Nineties to the contemporary "transnational and liberalized" European telecommunications landscape. Telecommunications networks are articulated around a triangle linking operators (services providers), manufacturers (gears providers) and regulators (providing operating rules). In Europe, this triangle formed strong national monopoly till the Eighties within each nation: a compartmentalized organisation highly contrasting with the idea and prospect of a common market. This landscape was swept away from the Eighties on, the telecommunications sector becoming an icon of an integrated and dynamic Europe, around a common policy combining technical harmonisation (the GSM standard for instance) and deregulation. This article addresses the questions of the origin, goals and stakeholders of a common policy for a long time impossible to achieve, redefined at several occasions, and, at the end, emblematic.Parole chiave: Telecomunicazioni, Cooperazione europea, Armonizzazione tecnica, CEPT, CEE, GSM Telecommunications, European cooperation, Technical Harmonization, CEPT, CEE, GSM

Scientific and technological progress, as well as the rapid development of information technologies, the formation of the information society, the introduction of telecommunications systems and networks into all vital processes, the availability of digital communications and information transmission have necessitated the use of new methods of combating crime in the new information (cybernetic) space, this artificially created environment, which is an integral part of transport telecommunications networks (TTN). The extraterritorial nature of transport telecommunication networks and systems, together with the global Internet, greatly complicates their legal regulation, as it is sometimes quite difficult to determine the jurisdiction of which state relates a criminal offense. Thus, when conducting silent investigative actions, a legitimate question arises as to the lawfulness of work in the information environment of the transport telecommunication network for obtaining digital evidence in the interests of criminal proceedings. Purpose of the article: to investigate the problematic issues of legal regulation when working in transport telecommunication networks in order to obtain information relevant to criminal proceedings during the conduct of silent investigative actions. The paper draws attention to the insufficient level of scientific research to cover the problematic issues of studying transport telecommunications networks as an information medium for legal obtaining digital evidence in the interests of criminal justice. The national legislation regulating public relations in this field is analyzed, as well as the case law of the European Court of Human Rights, which reveals some «white spots» in national legislation on ensuring the legitimacy and protection of human rights in the conduct of vague private communication interventions in the information environment of transport telecommunication networks. Taking into account the extraterritorial nature of the information (cyber) space, it is concluded that there is a need for clear legislative regulation of procedural activity in the transport telecommunication networks in order to ensure the security of the individual, society and the state as a whole in this sphere. The article also discusses different approaches to legal disparities in cyber crime investigations. The question of determining the crime scene in the information (cybernetic) space is raised, an attempt is made to define the "crime scene" and provides suggestions for improving legislation.
