ICT Law Book

A handbook on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) law, bridging the gap between rapid technological change and the pace of legal reform in East Africa. Recent developments in ICT have revolutionised how business is conducted, but legal regimes in several African countries (including Tanzania) have struggled to keep pace with the changes needed to regulate cyberspace activities properly. The book addresses key questions: what is cyber law; how are parties identified in cyberspace relationships; how are banking and cyber payments handled; how is cyber crime combated and e-commerce managed; what is the impact of ICT on intellectual property rights; and how are internet domain names regulated. Author Adam J. Mambi is Head of Research at the Law Reform Commission of Tanzania and part-time lecturer of ICT Law and Intellectual Property Law at the Faculty of Law, University of Dar es Salaam.
