1145 – 1300

Access and sharing of infrastructure: competition as a facilitator and disruptor in the wake of 5G Infrastructure access and sharing is generally promoted by regulation (eg, co-investments, colocation, etc,) and is considered a good alternative to mergers, but it can also generate tensions with competition law.

The emergence of 5G and fibre technologies could create new models of infrastructure access and sharing. A number of new 5G sharing agreements have been announced in Belgium and Italy, and several regulators have looked/ are looking at infrastructure sharing. This panel will discuss whether, in the wake of 5G, the access and sharing of infrastructure should be promoted or restricted.

1615 – 1730

Pushing the boundaries of investigations – new areas of antitrust enforcement Antitrust enforcement has traditionally been concerned with dry economic theories of competitive harm. However, in recent times, antitrust authorities have become increasingly concerned with the competitive impacts that arise from breaches of data protection laws globally, and the use of personal information.

This session will critically examine these trends in antitrust enforcement and consider what the future might hold.

0900 – 0930 Keynote speech Isabelle de Silva Presidente, Autorité de la Concurrence, Paris

0930 – 1045

Digital platforms – should we take an antitrust or regulatory approach? Internet platforms, being a relatively recent phenomenon, have been comparatively unregulated to date. However, we are now seeing competition enforcement authorities in the EU, USA and elsewhere turning their attention to the emergence of global online market intermediary platforms that are not technological operators but players that intercept a share of the value that flows between producers and consumers. Such players create double-sided markets which attract political and societal concern because there is a perception that these intermediaries dictate their own laws and, on the one hand, consumers have little or no other choice and, on the other, producers must comply with their rules in order to gain access to the market. Are ex post competition rules sufficient or should governments propose ex ante regulation, as was done in the 1990s for telecoms?

Moderators Innocenzo Genna Genna Cabinet, Brussels; Website Officer, IBA Communications Law Committee Catriona Hatton Baker Botts, Brussels; Secretary, IBA Antitrust Section

Speakers Prabhat Agarwal Deputy Head of Unit, DG CNECT F2 – e-Commerce & Platforms, European Commission, Brussels Eliana Garces-Tolon Director of Economic Policy, Facebook, Washington, DCDiane Mullenex Pinsent Masons, London Stefano Quintarelli Chairman, Steering Board, Agency for Digital Italy, Rome; Member, AI High-Level Expert Working Group, European Commission


1115 – 1230

Standards and patents in the digital world In today’s competitive world, where companies invest significantly in the development of new technologies and products, the best technology for a technical standard is frequently a proprietary technology. While companies and institutions cooperate more and more to define common standards and therefore reach significant economies of scale for their products, competition between standards remains a significant tool to leverage a competitive advantage or protect a market. Likewise, competitors do not hesitate resorting to patent (or other IPRs) litigation. This panel will focus on the competitive advantage/disadvantage of standards, patents and other IP rights in the digital world, as copyright or trade secrets. 5G governance, data portability, IoT and AI will be part of the debate.

If any deductions or withholdings are required by law to be made from any fees payable to us by you under the terms contained in this ‘Information’ section you shall pay such sum as will, after the deduction or withholding has been made, leave us with the same amount as we would have been entitled to receive in the absence of any such requirement to make a deduction or withholding.

Should this happen, prospective delegates will be informed and a waiting list will operate. The waiting list will function on a ‘first come, first served’ basis, subject to receiving registered delegate cancellations. The waiting list for a conference will close once it has reached ten per cent of the conference venue capacity, as it is very unlikely a place will become available.

Provided you have cancelled your registration to attend an IBA conference in accordance with the terms of the ‘cancellation of registration’ clause included in the ‘Information’ section of the relevant conference programme, you must then confirm to us in writing at the IBA office as soon as possible, but in no event later than one year (12 calendar months) from the date of any such conference, all necessary details to enable any reimbursement owed to you to be paid.

Unauthorised accommodation agentsIt has been brought to our attention that there are multiple companies contacting past attendees, claiming to represent the IBA, offering ‘assistance’ with registration and hotel bookings.

They are operating by cold-calling and spamming companies whose names have appeared on previous List of Participants, Programmes and

Sponsorship recognition. The only Accommodation Agent the IBA works with is Judy Lane ICS. Judy Lane ICS do not contact delegates on behalf of the IBA without delegates making initial contact. Please ignore any communication that does not come directly from the IBA or Judy Lane ICS.

International Bar Associationthe global voice of the legal profession

The International Bar Association (IBA), established in 1947, is the world’s leading organisation of international legal practitioners, bar associations, law firms and law societies.

The IBA influences the development of international law reform and shapes the future of the legal profession throughout the world. It has a membership of more than 80,000 individual lawyers and more than 190 bar associations and law societies spanning over 170 countries.

Inspired by the vision of the United Nations, the IBA was founded in the same spirit, just before the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was proclaimed in 1948.

The IBA covers all practice areas and professional interests, providing members with access to leading experts and up-to date information, enabling them to better represent their clients’ interests.

Through its various committees, fora and task forces, the IBA facilitates the exchange of information and views among its members as to laws, practices and professional responsibilities relating to the practice of law around the globe.

Antitrust Section Overview

The Antitrust Committee provides an international forum for thought leadership with respect to antitrust law developments and the profession through submissions to competition agencies, training programs/missions, developing the law through our conferences, publications, and interaction with antitrust enforcement authorities and the profession.

Communications Law Committee OverviewThe Communications Law Committee is a leading global forum for legal practitioners with specialist expertise or interest in the communications sector. The Committee offers members access to a worldwide network of leading practitioners, in-house counsel and regulators active in digital, communications and media markets.

We encourage the sharing of sectoral expertise through regular publication of articles, periodic issues of our technical journal, the annual committee conference hosted jointly with IBA Antitrust Committee, and specialised sessions at the IBA Annual Conference.

The scope of the Committee’s work covers network, service and content-related developments across all delivery platforms. This provides members with access to practical global perspectives on the array of technological, commercial and policy issues which confront communications lawyers, their companies and clients.
