Although British citizens have voted to leave the European Union, it will take some time for the UK to truly leave the EU. British Prime Minister David Cameron said today that he will remain in office for three months before handing over his power to his successor.
Cameron also expressed the hope that the next prime minister will negotiate with the EU on the issue of Brexit. The negotiations may take two years. In other words, the UK may have to wait until 2018 to truly withdraw from the EU. This means that the UK will face years of uncertainty, and technology companies and investors are uncertain about how the UK's future regulatory policies will change.
Suppressing US companies
Ben Thompson, a technology blogger at Stratechery, said the UK is one of the countries in the EU that is relatively loosely regulated by technology. After the British withdrawal, Germany and France will hold a tougher stance in the EU.
For a long time, Germany and France have actively advocated suppressing US technology companies, such as Google. If there is no British block, the attitude of Germany and France will be harder and the situation may be more severe.
Another issue is the cross-border flow of data and data. Data sharing agreements between the EU and the US government were questioned as early as the US government’s “monitoring scandal†in 2013.
Data transfer
The European and American data sharing agreement, Safe Harbor, is an agreement signed by the US Department of Commerce and the European Union in December 2000 to adjust US corporate exports and handle personal data of European citizens, such as name and address. Wait. In short, this agreement is mainly to facilitate the transfer of data between the EU and the US.
But the European Court of Justice of the European Union announced in October last year that the European and American data sharing agreements that had been in operation for 15 years immediately failed. The European Court of Justice said in the ruling that the 500 million inhabitants of the European Union did not have the right to file a lawsuit in a US court if they found that their privacy was violated by a US company or government.
So far, the two sides have not yet reached a final new agreement. Although negotiators announced a breakthrough on Friday, it is still too early to celebrate. When left the EU, the UK will also face the same problems as the EU.
This has been confirmed by the Office of the Information Commissioner (ICO). ICO said today that the UK's current Data Protection Act is based on old EU regulations but is still valid. But the upcoming EU privacy reform (the introduction of the more stringent General Data Protection Regulations) will no longer be directly applicable to the UK.
This means that although the UK is successful in Brexit, it will still have to reform its privacy protection laws to comply with the new EU regulations, otherwise it will face major obstacles to cross-border data transmission. “In view of the growing digital economy, it is more important than ever to develop clear protection laws. We will communicate with the government and convey our view that it is necessary to amend the UK law,†ICO said.
Foreign technology company
Foreign technology companies may not be very interested in the details of the new EU regulations, but they will at least welcome the consistency of their commitments. The current privacy protection law of the EU can be said to be "smart", not uniform, and I believe that the new General Data Protection Regulations will solve this problem.
Therefore, technology companies may also want the UK to be consistent with the EU in this regard. But this may not be enough to solve all the problems. For example, one of the big problems is government surveillance.
The main reason for the failure of the Safe Harbor Agreement was the large-scale surveillance policy of the US government. Similarly, the UK has large-scale surveillance programs that affect other countries. However, when the UK was a member of the European Union, its actions did not affect the transmission of data in the UK and other European member states. Once it leaves the European Union, the situation will turn sharply.
In the future, it is not certain that the UK will continue to participate in the European single market. Although the Brexit supporters promised to do this, the negotiations will become tricky in the face of hostility from EU countries.
Competitors become winners
In fact, most UK technology startups are opposed to Brexit. They believe that Brexit will damage the confidence of the industry and make it more difficult to introduce talents from abroad. For example, Microsoft has said that Brexit will make it impossible to invest more in the UK.
At the same time, this will give British competitors more opportunities. Just a few hours after the results of the vote were announced, the Berlin venture capital firm German Startups Group issued a statement saying: "Brexit is good news for the German entrepreneurial field."
Christoph Gerlinger, CEO of the German Startups Group, said: "London has been Europe's leading startup financing trading center and was not overtaken by Berlin until 2015. After the Brexit, I believe that Berlin will win London. farther."
In addition, the German Association of New Ventures also believes that after the Brexit, Berlin will be the winner.
Impact on consumers
For tech users, after leaving the EU, the British may not be able to get cheap mobile calls and traffic to the EU countries. Because the legislation in the new EU network may not apply to the UK, this is not good news for British consumers.
Another thing to watch out for is the wireless spectrum resource. Currently, the EU is preparing to coordinate the allocation of frequency bands internally to help mobile device manufacturers achieve economies of scale. With the advent of 5G, no one wants to see differences in the distribution of ultra-high-speed mobile broadband bands.
After leaving the EU, the UK will no longer have to act in accordance with EU decisions. Of course, as with the previous privacy protection law, consistency with the EU will be the most obvious option.
Today, everyone is concerned about the impact that the UK will bring to the global market after Brexit. The technology industry is no exception, and it is bound to be affected. In the long run, this impact will be far-reaching and complex. (Li Ming)
