This “conformance testing” involves specialized tools and expertise, which are not always available in every country.2 Equally complex is operational testing, which is normally the final step before a product or system is handed over for commercial use. Numerous players are involved in determining interoperability, with differing needs and agendas. Specific capabilities need to be identified in particular players, as well as potential areas for collaboration among the many interests — public and commercial — that are involved.

Then the IP-based Internet and its content-led value chain (see Figure 1) came along with its attractive devices, numerous online services, thousand of apps and unlimited content that wows subscribers – completely “over-running” the erstwhile telecoms 3-layer value chain. (...) There are clear calls from many stakeholder groups to “control” or regulate OTTs, yet the many proponents typically neither point to any market failure nor to any evidence of “The IP-based Internet and its content-led value chain came along with its attractive devices, numerous online services, thousands of apps and unlimited content that wows subscribers… Operators have suddenly found themselves delineated to the connectivity layer/segment of the Internet value chain whilst other players dominate other segments.” (...) It turns out that it is not that easy to implement as practically all foreign online services layer players (see Figure 1) are arguably caught by the new tax.

  FRAMEWORK FOR THIRD GENERATION CELLULAR TECHNOLOGY DEPLOYMENT IN SINGAPORE

It is important to attract new content, application and service players with the technical expertise and marketing know-how who can compete with existing players, both wired and wireless. (...) It would also provide these operators with some degree of certainty over their operations for the remaining duration of their licences (ranging 17 to 20 years). 2.3.2 On the other hand, there may be new players with the necessary technical capability and market savvy to be key players in the 3G market and ensure optimal use of the technology and meet the sophisticated needs of users. (...) The idea here is to allow as many 3G operators into the market and let market forces eventually decide on the optimal number of players through industry consolidation. While there is benefit to letting the market decide, the drawbacks would be possible duplication of resources (6 islandwide 3G networks), market upheaval as operators merge and consolidate or close down and reluctance of operators to invest substantially in the infrastructure in view of the intense competition.

  Policy Statement — Cyprus

They are establishing regulatory regimes that are designed to foster competition and to create a favorable climate for investment.

  When video games meet IP law

However, from an IP law perspective, numerous aspects of video games remain unclear. These can be a problem for video game developers, publishers, and even players in some cases. (...) An example can be found in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings , where players can find a dead, white-robed body next to a haystack. (...) User-generated content Socializing within video games does not end with communication between players or with attending online events. Like social media, many video games encourage players to create and share so-called user generated content (UGC).
