(2)The reference in subsection (1) to connecting to the internet is a reference to using a communication protocol that forms part of the Internet Protocol suite to send and receive data over the internet.
(3)In this Part “network-connectable product” means a product that—
(a)is capable of both sending and receiving data by means of a transmission involving electrical or electromagnetic energy,

(b)it is capable of connecting directly to an internet-connectable product by means of such a communication protocol (whether or not at the same time as it connects to any other product).
(6)In determining whether the condition in subsection (5)(a) is met in relation to a product (“the relevant product”), any product consisting of a wire or cable that is used merely to connect the relevant product to another product is to be disregarded.
(7)In a case where—

each of the input products is to be treated for the purposes of subsection (3) as meeting the second connectability condition.
(8)For the purposes of subsections (4) to (7), a product is not to be prevented from being regarded as connecting directly to another product merely because the connection involves the use of a wire or cable.
