Telecom Best Practice: Reforms and Case Law in 2022

The Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Bill is passing through Parliament. It is likely to pass into law with few amendments. It will impose new obligations and responsibilities on site providers and intends to give greater certainty to telecom operators to speed up the roll out of 5G. What are the details, how does it reset site provider and operator relationships and what do consultants working for one side or the other need to know?

The first part of this event will focus on the changes to the Code under the provisions in the Bill, and how they will impact on site providers. How does this translate to those advising site providers and those negotiating on their behalf?

The second part of the event will review the latest case law. There have been two Supreme Court, and numerous Tribunal decisions. Many of these are far reaching in their effect in how the Code operates, whether or not the Bill is enacted.
