European Union has enacted a series of communications directives after 2002 to set up a horizontal regulatory framework for ”electronic communications networks” (ECN). The United Kingdom adopted the uniform regulatory framework by passing the Communications Act 2003. The Act defines ECN as communications systems or equipments conveying signals by the use of electrical, magnetic or electro-magnetic energy. Electronic communications services (ECS) are the services delivered via ECN, but not including content services. The author finds four features of the Act: 1. It establishes a horizontal regulatory framework, while maintaining vertical categories for broadcasting platforms. 2. The Act does not replace all telecommunications and broadcasting laws. By and large, previous regulatory laws for broadcasting stay. 3. general authorizations for ECN/ECS do not entail licenses for resources such as spectrum and the right of way. 4. There are several grouping of conditions for ECN/ECS. By finding that the Act effectively reduces the legal barriers in cross-ownership of telecommunications and broadcasting, the author concludes the Act is able to cope with the convergence problem. The convergence in services in communications market since 2003 greatly enhances. The article suggests three lessons to be learned from the U.K. communications legislation. 1. A horizontally uniform regulatory framework is preferred. 2. Separation of general authorizations and service licenses is recommended. 3. Conditions shall attach to holders of service licenses, not general authorizations. National Communications Commission (NCC) in Taiwan proposed the ”Communications Regulatory Bill” in 2007 that also attempted to cope with the convergence problem.
