Strand on Net Neutrality in EU after 1 Year: Unintended Consequences for operators, content providers, and consumers

Net Neutrality in EU after 1 Year: Unintended Consequences for operators, content providers, and consumers: "Desperate EU gamble for popularity.

The European Commission and Parliament made a gamble to regulate net neutrality and roaming in the same legislation, on the desperate hope that the EU could translate Europeans love of the interent and mobile communications into love of EU government. The EU claims that the reason for the legislation was to protect and guarantee the engine of Internet innovation, but the regime fails on both fronts. The privacy of users is being violated by invasive measurement and blocks against securing networks.

As for innovation, there are little to no examples of new European developments since the legislation. If anything, the EU continues to fall behind the US and East Asia in Internet innovation." 'via Blog this'
