For those that missed the articles of August 2014, here is what I have been discussing about!
It was a quite busy summer period where I covered the following interesting topics:
Internet of Things - Italian telecom authority seeks inputs

Data protection breaches of health related sensitive data might occur through a mere video scanning an individual's face according to a recent research.ย
Data protection rules will be adequately protected through the registry to be set up against frauds in the insurance sector according to the Italian data protection authority.
This is a quite unusual post for this blog, but the relevance of the conference justifies that. ย I am interested in participating as a speaker to theย Web Summit, the largest technology conference in the world, next November in order to cover legal issues relevant for the Internet of Things. ย
Internet of Things technologies require the communication between devices on telecom networks that vary depending on the type of service provided. ย Such communications in some cases lead to telecom law issues in relation to the possibility to use the relevant telecom network and obligations triggered by such usage. ย These are among the issues that the Italian telecom authority, AGCOM and the UK telecom authority, OFCOM, will be discussing during the current consultation on the Internet of Things.
The status of the Italian videolottery market might considerably change after the new measures ordered against B Plus Giocolegale Ltd., one the largest Italian videolottery and AWP (comma 6A) operators, which placed the company in a status of "extraordinary and temporary management".ย
For those that missed some of the articles of last month, here are the top 5 posts for July 2014!

The Internet of Things (IoT) will enable devices to communicate and share data with one another and data to be combined and used across multiple applications. ย However, such applications also raise relevant legal issues. ย The Italian Telecom Authority (AGCOM) has for this purpose just launched a consultation on the Internet of Things in order to understand how to better foster this market whose value will reach $ 7.1 trillion in sales by 2020. ย
