case history

Neelie Kroes
Jan 2010: “There is still some
confusion about net neutrality.
[…] The core issue is whether
internet access providers or
network operators should be
able to exercise control or limit
users’ access to any content.
For me, when that is done for
commercially motivated
reasons, that is absolutely a
no-go.”
3
Neelie Kroes
• six consultations
• The Netherlands & Slovenia
adopt net neutrality legislation
• BEREC study about violations
50% of mobile and 20% of
fixed line customers affected
