The spread of internet applications, such as the popular Netflix, Amazon Prime, and other apps, reveals this trend. These innovations, however, bring immense legal challenges to competition regulation. While traditional telecommunications services remain subject to traditional regulation by the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) and the National Film Agency (Ancine), Services provided via the internet – commonly called Over-The-Top Services – generally escape traditional regulatory frameworks. This situation presents us with a true paradox: how to foster competition between asymmetrically regulated economic activities?
With this in mind, IDP and IBRAC, with the support of ABERT, are holding the Technological Convergence and Competition Seminar on August 29th, starting at 8:45 am, at IDP. The event will feature prominent figures such as João Henrique Caldas – President of the Parliamentary Front for the Digital Economy and Citizenship, Abraão Balbino – Superintendent of Competition/ANATEL, Marcelo Bechara – Advisor to ABERT, Miriam Wimmer – Director of the Department of Telecommunications Services at MCTIC, Laura Schertel – PhD in Law, Professor and author of the books “Privacy, Data Protection and Consumer Protection” and “The Protection of Personal Data in the Private Sector: Risks of Data Processing and the Guarantee of Substantial Consent”, and other leading professionals in the field.
The first panel of the event will delve deeper into discussions, based on a dialogue between the differing perspectives of regulatory authorities, public policy makers, and private market players.
In the second panel, the speakers will address the international context of competition law in the digital economy and discuss their views on (i) the relevance of personal data protection to competition law; (ii) CADE's focus when analyzing mergers and acquisitions involving companies operating in the digital economy; (iii) how personal data can be used to allow companies operating in the digital economy to abuse their dominant positions in certain relevant markets; as well as (iv) investigations of cartels involving new technologies.
The speakers will address practical issues that need to be on the radar not only of authorities, but also of lawyers and economists working in the areas of competition law, regulation, and data protection. The event is open to the public, and the program and registration can be found on the website. www.idp.edu.br/eventos.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″ el_class=”sideRightPost”][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”sidebar”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” equal_height=”yes” el_id=”courses-page-box-5″ css=”.vc_custom_1526064800224{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;background-image: url(http://homologacao.idp.edu.br/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/bn_contato_idp-1980×300-1.jpg?id=5274) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” el_class=”postCTA”][vc_column][themeum_action alignment=”left” title=”STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?” title_style=”customstyle” title_heading=”h2″ title_size=”20″ title_color=”#ffffff” title_weight=”800″ title_margin=”53px 0 0″ title_padding=”0″ btn_position=”btnright” btntext=”CONTACT US” btnurl=”/contact/” btntype=”white” btnsize=”btn-lg”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
