Regulating over-the-top services in EU law

The paper analyses the regulation of over-the-top services in European Union law. It starts by defining over-the-top services and analysing their position within the regulatory framework for electronic com- munications of the European Union. Furthermore, the paper tries to ascertain the influence of over-the-top service providers in the electronic communications sector and the difficulties in the relationship between over-the-top service and electronic communications networkproviders. The paper further analyses the regulatoryrequirementsofelectroniccommunications service providers under the current regulatory framework for electronic communications of the European Union, and tries to determine what obligations do not apply to over-the-top services providers. It continues with determining possibilities for the application of some of these obligations to the over-the-top service providers. The paper concludes with an analysis of the proposal for a new regulatory framework for electronic communications of the European Union and tries to establish whether there is a different intention to regulate over-the-top services and their providers.
