By MylonasLaw/AMG Mylonas & Associates, LLC
We are pleased to share that our Managing Partner, Andreas Mylonas, together with our advocate Katerina Constantinou, have authored the Cyprus chapter of the International Comparative Legal Guide – Telecoms, Media & Internet 2026.
The chapter provides a comprehensive overview of Cyprus’ rapidly evolving telecoms, media and digital regulatory framework, offering valuable insights for businesses, investors and stakeholders active in the digital economy.
Key highlights include:
- Telecoms & Media Market: A sector approaching €1 billion in annual revenue, driven by key players such as Cyta, Epic, Cablenet and Primetel, alongside a growing digital media landscape.
- Regulatory Framework: A modern, EU-aligned legal environment covering electronic communications, cybersecurity (NIS), data protection (GDPR) and audiovisual media, supervised by OCECPR and the Cyprus Media Authority.
- Licensing & Market Access: Largely liberalised markets with strong opportunities for foreign investment, subject to targeted regulatory safeguards (including VoIP and emergency services obligations).
- Cybersecurity & Data Protection: Enhanced compliance requirements for operators, including security measures, data retention and incident reporting obligations.
- Media & Internet Regulation: Strong net neutrality protections, number portability, and court-ordered mechanisms for addressing illegal online content.
Looking ahead, Cyprus continues to strengthen its position as a competitive European digital hub, driven by AI adoption, fiber network expansion and forward-looking regulation creating significant opportunities across telecoms, media, technology and digital services.
