In the United States, the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), on 1994 allows some services of the State which justify it, in particular the F.B.I, to carry out telephone tapping. But the technology also allows the transmission of voice by other means than the phone, especially via the Internet. However, wiretapping as a threat to individual liberties, only an Act may extend the powers of listening, on the phone on the modes of transmission of voice on the Internet. In this view, the F.B.I. is developing which is intended to become an extension of the Act of 1994.

We cannot properly design and build banking regulation, or run it well if you do not have a clear idea of what a bank is and what it is for. However, it is precisely this criticism has formulated the Managing General of the Financial Services Authority (FSA) September 5, 2012: the banks do not know who they are, what they serve. Indeed, the regulator imputes many dysfunctional banking system and financial banking to agents that behave like ordinary product vendors, products which are financial products, in exchange for which they receive a commission. In contrary, the regulator believes that the bank does not have a sales business but a service activity: that of serving the interests of his client. It was forgotten, he said, and the cause for many ills.

Online gambling is becoming a worldwide phenomenon. Whether it be card games, lotteries, or betting on sports games and races, more and more customers flock towards websites that operate games of chance online, often without any sort of government control or supervision. Customers are attracted to the facility and privacy of these services, and especially the higher rate of return on their outlay than provided in physical casinos or betting services. However, physical gambling and betting are amongst the most universally regulated sectors: cultural and public policy differences play a very significant role in explaining the differences in regulation found in this sector.

Article: Une analyse comparative de la régulation des jeux en ligne
Jouer en ligne est désormais un phénomène mondial. Qu'il s'agisse des jeux de cartes, des loteries, ou des paris sportifs et hippiques, de plus en plus de clients affluent vers des sites Internet qui organisent des jeux de chance et de hasard sur Internet, souvent sans aucune forme de supervision ou de contrôle étatique. Les clients sont attirés par la facilité et la confidentialité de tels services, et surtout le taux de retour plus élevé sur leurs mises que dans un casino ou service de pari physique. Cependant, les jeux d'argent physiques sont parmi les secteurs les plus régulés: les différences culturelles et d'ordre public jouent un rôle important dans l'explication des différences dans la régulation de ce secteur.

Artikel: Vergleichende Analyse der Regulierung von Online-Wetten

Online-Wetten sind dabei eine weltweites Phänomen zu werden. Ob Kartenspiele, Lotterien oder Sportwetten: mehr und mehr Kunden strömen auf die Seiten von Online-Wettmachern, die ihr Geschäft oft ohne jegliche staatliche Kontrolle oder Aufsicht betreiben. Gelockt werden die Kunden durch die Vertraulichkeit und Mühelosigkeit der Online-Spiele, aber auch durch die höheren Returns auf ihren Einsatz im Vergleich zu traditionellen Casinos. Allerdings gehören Glücksspiele und Casinos zu den weltweit am stärksten regulierten Sektoren: kulturelle und politische Unterschiede spielen jedoch eine große Rolle bei der Erklärung der Unterschiede in der Regulierung in diesem Bereich.

Artykuł: Analiza porównawcza regulacji gier na Internecie.
 
Grać na Internecie stało się światowym fenomenem. Czy chodzi o gry w karty, loterie lub o stawienie pieniędzy na zakłady sportowe lub wyścigi hippiczne, coraz więcej konsumentów przybywa na strony internetowe firm, które oferują gry hazardowe, często bez jakiejkolwiek formy nadzoru czy kontroli państwowej. Klientów przyciąga łatwość i poufność usług, a szczególnie wyższa stawka procentowa niż ta proponowana w klasycznym kasynie lub firmach przyjmujących zakłady na gry hazardowe. Pomimo, że gry na pieniądze należą do sektorów ekonomicznych najbardziej uregulowanych, odmiennosci kulturowe, jak również różnice w polityce porządku publicznego, odgrywają ważną rolę w wyjaśnianiu różnic związanych z regulacją tego sektoru gospodarki.

Sectorial Analysis

A simple question:  be regulator, is it a profession?

As soon as one asks the question, it should be down. Indeed, the time has passed when the regulator was a natural person. Today, in most cases, the regulator takes the form of a Regulatory Authority, that is to say an entity with or without legal personality, incorporated in the State or professional.

Individuals appear as a member of the Authority, even if it is true that the President of the Regulatory Authority often has a very importan role!footnote-17.

The choice of Commissioners is crucial to the independence and effectiveness of the regulatory authority. It is appropriate that the person has "authority" over the area, must be respected and participates effectively in the collective action of the College.

Let us try to recall the two sets of criteria to determine how one thinks the "good regulator" before taking such case the appointment of Mr. Yann Padova as a new member of the College of the Commission de Régulation de l'Énergie (French Energy Regulatory Commission).
