Ekomloven
1 min
The Norwegian Electronic Communications Act regulates the telecommunications sector including fixed and mobile networks, internet access, and broadcasting transmission. Providers must obtain authorization, meet quality of service requirements, and comply with net neutrality rules. The law includes provisions enabling lawful interception by law enforcement and intelligence services under court orders. Communications providers must maintain technical capabilities to intercept communications when legally required. The Act also addresses emergency communications, critical infrastructure protection, and consumer rights. Nkom (Norwegian Communications Authority) supervises compliance, while interception activities are overseen by the courts and control committees. The law complements Sikkerhetsloven for national security matters.
