Groundbreaking new technology has always been a driving force of the communications and media sector. Converging technologies mean that traditional media has gone digital: DVDs, 3G phones, satellite radio and much more, all creating a huge new market. And the mobile telecoms sector is driving much of the current demand for content, which is needed in ever greater volumes and to increasing levels of sophistication. Such a fast pace of change inevitably brings with it cutting-edge legal issues. Communications and media businesses need to ensure that their lawyers are on the right wavelength, in order to keep abreast of these changes.
