<br>
Interestingly, there is no law requiring the registration of ICT<br>
'practitioners' in the UK or USA. In the UK, there are several laws<br>
which touch upon the ICT sector:<br>
<br>
Computer Misuse Act 1990<br>
Consumer Protection Act 1987<br>
Data Protection Act 1998<br>
Disability Discrimination Act 1995<br>
EC Directives on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)<br>
Freedom of Information Act 2002<br>
Health and Safety at Work Act 1974<br>
Copyright, Designs and Patent Act 1988<br>
Protection of the Environment (Environmental Information Regulations 2005)<br>
Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000<br>
The Telecommunications Regulations 2000 (Lawful Business Practice)<br>
(Interception of Communications)<br>
<br>
None of the above target 'practitioners', or requires them to pay<br>
'license' fees.<br>
<br>
