Our Pedro Cortés has published a new article “Macau Proposes to Overhaul Its Telecommunications Framework: Key Changes Under the Proposed Telecommunications Law” on Lexology.

The article delivers practical analysis of Macau’s landmark telecommunications reform bill, which would supersede the existing 2001 legal framework in favor of a modern, technology‑neutral regulatory regime.

Key legislative innovations:
• Dual licensing regime for network and service operators, strict corporate, financial and suitability criteria
• Expanded supervisory powers for CTT over interconnection, infrastructure sharing and dispute resolution
• SMP‑focused competition oversight; tightened controls on share transfers and corporate transactions
• Enhanced consumer protection on contract locking periods, billing transparency and service termination

The draft legislation is now undergoing legislative scrutiny, with supplementary implementing regulations to follow post‑enactment.
