Summary/Abstract: Due to rapid technological developments, the sector of electronic communications law is very specific. In many aspects, electronic communications law is strongly linked to the application of competition law rules. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the terminology used in the Czech Act on Electronic Communications and its compliance with the terminology used in the Czech Act on the Protection of Competition, as well as its compliance with the EU terminology. Problems may be caused by inconsistencies in the terminology used, for example when defining the relevant market and subsequently identifying a competitor/an undertaking with a significant market power.
