Net neutrality

Post by Bruv »

A two-tier Internet will be created in Europe as the result of a late-night "compromise" between the European Commission, European Parliament and the EU Council. The so-called "trilogue" meeting to reconcile the different positions of the three main EU institutions saw telecom companies gaining the right to offer "specialised services" on the Internet. These premium services will create a fast lane on the Internet and thus destroy net neutrality, which requires that equivalent traffic is treated in the same way



Should I worry ?

I would say it possibly depends on how much bandwidth is 'hogged' by this top-tier. I must admit, I'm probably not the person to answer this, Bruv.
