EU annoys industry and activists with net neutrality proposal

EU annoys industry and activists with net neutrality proposal • The Register: "If approved by the European Parliament, the law would apply from 30 June 2016. Getting parliamentary approval, however, may prove tricky.

Dutch MEP Marietje Schaake, of the left-leaning Democraten 66 party, said the proposals were “disappointing to the point of insulting”. Schaake’s home country is the only one in the EU to have a national net neutrality law. And it’s being enforced: both KPN and Vodafone were fined in the Netherlands in December.

“The council wording is vague and this is a problem. Ambiguity and uncertainty create loopholes. We need clear principles and definitions. These are not in the council text, and I don’t think that’s an accident. The council will face a huge fight to get this wording approved,” warned Schaake." 'via Blog this'
