The Bill makes provision about the security of internet-connectable products and products capable of connecting to such products as well as about electronic communications infrastructure, and for connected purposes.

The Product Security measures (Part 1 of the Bill) will:

• ensure that consumer connectable products, such as smart TVs, internet-connectable cameras and speakers, are more secure against cyber attacks, protecting individual privacy and security;
• require manufacturers, importers and distributors to comply with new security requirements relating to consumer connectable products;
• create an enforcement regime with civil and criminal sanctions aimed at preventing insecure products being made available on the UK market.

The Telecommunications Infrastructure measures (Part 2 of the Bill) will:

• amend the Electronic Communications Code to support the quick and efficient rollout of gigabit-capable broadband and 5G networks in a way that balances the interests of landowners, telecoms operators, and the public;
• align the process and framework for renewal agreements with those for new agreements and encourage more collaborative negotiations;
• introduce measures that will help optimise the use of existing infrastructure.
