Within a few months lawyers of Jurimex law firmtogether with specialists of the Telecommunication Chamber of Ukraine, developed a bill aimed at simplifying the activities of service providers and regulating Internet broadcasters and providers. On June 23, elected official Mykola Knyazhitskyi submitted this draft to the Verkhovna Rada for consideration. The project received a registration number 4150a.

The bill number 4150a provides for a number of principal innovations, which are sharply lacking actual information, and above all, the television market. First, complicated, expensive, and versatile corruption in the procedure for licensing software service providers is replaced by simple and transparent registration rules. The state reserves only control over the content of cable networks, with what, the measure of this control is increasing. In particular, the regulatory body receives an opportunity by its decision to suspend cable retransmissions of television channels that violate Ukrainian legislation.

An additional innovation is the extention of media guarantees for Internet publications and OTT-providers. To receive them it is necessary to register as a subject of information activity, and if the decision of this issue is delayed by the state, registration will occur automatically.

"In many respects, this bill implements the positive experience of many European countries, whose legislation is more progressive. However, in addition, we tried to take into account those characteristic features that are often encountered in Ukraine. Our wide-ranging practice of solving complex projects for various electronic media, which allows delicately feeling the problems of this market, as well as finding the best ways to solve them, is really helpful," said Yuriy Krainiak, one of the bill founder and managing partner of Jurimex law firm.
