MEP: net neutrality and the open internet traded off in telecoms package

MEP: net neutrality and the open internet traded off in telecoms package: "In the past the European Parliament has repeatedly expressed its support for stronger guarantees for net neutrality in Europe. Schaake continues to work to improve the proposal ahead of the European Parliament’s plenary vote in April. “The whole package has been rushed through by Parliament because abolishing roaming costs is a nice message to campaign on. Of course that is an important step towards completing the digital single market. But some politicians are blinded by this short term win and lose sight of the long-term importance of an open internet.

The plenary vote on the proposal for a European single telecoms market will take place on April 3rd." 'via Blog this'
