Legal Regulation of the Internet Services

Summary/Abstract: The article in three provisionally set parts addresses some essential issues of the contractual legal relation with respect to the rendering and receiving various services in the Internet. The contract for rendering Internet services is defined as a two-party legal transaction under which the first party — the Internet provider agrees to render services against payment to the second party — the subscriber. The first part looks at the specificity of the Internet services as a subject of the above-mentioned contract. The term „Internet services“ is considered general comprising access to Internet, other different in their nature information services, as well as non-information services rendered by one or different providers together or individually. The second part examines the characteristics of the parties to the contract and attention is paid to the legal regulation of the Internet providers’ business. The author emphasises the unsolved issue of the introduction of the licenses for regulating the Internet services providers’ business related to the telecommunications activity. The author concludes that rendering access to Internet is an „electronic telecommunication service“ and as such the laws in the telecommunications domain regulate it. The other different in type services, offered through Internet, cannot be a subject of license, because of their more traditional character and the fact that they have already been legally regulated.
