This book constructs both educational and research arguments on
various dimensions of Information and Communication Technology
(ICT) policy and regulation. There has been a paradigm shift in the
ICT industry due to convergence of various technologies, the
ubiquity of the Internet, the emergence of app economy and the
pervasiveness of social media. These pose policy and regulatory
challenges in the areas of industry structure, market power of
firms, pricing of products and services, interconnection of
networks, radio spectrum management, intellectual property rights,
data privacy and security. The common thread throughout the
different sections of the book is the massive adoption of
digitization by individuals, enterprises, governments and societies
and the critical role of associated regulation and policy for its
success. The book addresses 13 important questions in the areas of:
i) Telecom Regulation including bundling of products and services,
interconnection, and radio spectrum; (ii) Internet Regulation
including governance of the Internet, Net Neutrality, quality of
service, and cyber security; (iii) App Economy Regulation including
Over The Top communication and broadcast services, ICT platform
intermediation, sharing economy, data protection and privacy; and
(iv) Emerging Technology Regulation including Artificial
Intelligence and Intellectual Property Rights. The book explains
technology and related regulatory concepts in an easy-to-read
format and includes brief case studies describing the regulatory
approaches from different countries. Specific focus is given to the
regulatory landscape in India surrounding these questions and the
lessons for similar emerging countries. Written in the form of
contemporary questions and answers, this unique book appeals to
researchers in ICT policy and regulation, regulators and
policymakers, as well as students interested in the subject area.

and regulatory issues relating to ICT, especially as applicable to
India. Further, it provides a theoretical framework for analysing
each regulatory issue along with practical implications. A good

Sharma, Chairman, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India. "This book
by Professor Sridhar provides an excellent overview of the
challenges that the world faces in coping with the dynamic new
emerging digital technologies that affect the way we work, play and
communicate with each other. As the internet and mobile telephony
becomes more ubiquitous and accessible to everyone regardless of
socio-economic class, ICT can be used for good or for mischief. The
book lays out the issues of regulating global ICT and policies that
governments should adopt to enable its productive and positive
use." - Dr G Anand Anandalingam, Ralph J. Tyser Professor of
Management Science, Robert H. Smith School of Business, University

of Indian and international ICT markets." - Dr Hammainen Heikki,

they are often not very readable. I am glad to say that Prof.

regulation and policies with a focus on India, and the result is a
comprehensive and interesting volume with a number of very useful
chapters; many of them easily digested on their own. The book is
