Blumental, Eva ; Šmejkal, Václav (advisor) ; Kunertová, Tereza (referee)
Title: European Competition Law in the Area of Information and Communication Technologies Abstract The world of information and communication technologies developes with a tremendous speed. This pace is something that we need to adjust to, and the EU competition law represents no exception. This thesis concerns development of european competition law in the area of information technologies enabling communication between users. The scope of these technologies is narrowed to telecommunications and so called OTT applications, as both demostrate best the differences caused by dynamic development. In the area of telecommunications the analysis starts with a brief introduction of historical development triggered by process of liberalisation, and continues with the analysis of the decision making of both the Commission and the CJEU. All the areas of competition law are included - articles 101 and 102 of the TFEU, control of concentrations and to certain extent also state aid. Attention is dedicated also to consequences of roaming and of its cancellation, which is about to happen in the upcoming years. A lot of focus is aimed on the Commission's decisionmaking in merger control, where we can assume a development of a certain blueprint. In the area of the OTT applications, we introduce their concept, and a lion...
