Telecommunications
It is impossible to imagine the life of a modern person without telecommunications. Today we are always «in touch». And this means that telecommunications is not only big business, but also a field for serious legal calculations and sometimes disputes.
Telecommunications include the Internet, cellular service, wireline telephone service, digital television, and more. Disputes in the field of telecommunications can be very diverse. In addition to the provisions of special laws regulating the provision of various telecommunications services, provisions of tax, antitrust, corporate, intellectual property, criminal and other branches of law may be relevant.
Mass media
“Mass media law” regulates the activities of the media. This includes both specialized legislation on the media and other sections of law that are directly or indirectly related to the media: on advertising, on personal data, on prohibited information, etc. The activities of the media are controlled by Roskomnadzor, antimonopoly authorities, and various law enforcement agencies.
Tort law is also very important for the media: claims for the protection of honor and dignity against the media from the characters of their publications are not uncommon. In difficult cases, criminal cases (about libel and other) are also possible. Often, legal problems of telecommunications companies and the media result in legal disputes. There are defamation claims, challenges to the actions of government agencies, cases of administrative offenses, and criminal cases.
