One of Jisc’s activities is to monitor and, where possible, influence regulatory developments that affect us and our customer universities, colleges and schools as operators of large computer networks. Since Janet and its customer networks are classified by Ofcom as private networks, postings here are likely to concentrate on the regulation of those networks. Postings here are, to the best of our knowledge, accurate on the date they are made, but may well become out of date or unreliable at unpredictable times thereafter. Before taking action that may have legal consequences, you should talk to your own lawyers. NEW: To help navigate the many posts on the General Data Protection Regulation, I've classified them as most relevant to developing a GDPR compliance process, GDPR's effect on specific topics, or how the GDPR is being developed. Or you can just use my free GDPR project plan.

DEA Complexities

The London Internet Exchange (LINX) have written a briefing paper for Ofcom on some of the different models by which Internet access can be provided to everything from houses and businesses to hotel chains and care homes and the issues that these raise for the definitions in the Digital Economy Act 2010.

I've contributed sections on universities and colleges and on schools. Possibly surprisingly, ours aren't (quite) the most complex circumstances! Credit is due to Malcolm Hutty at LINX for working out and explaining all of this lot.
