Why is net neutrality important?

You could Pay More for Less Internet

-

The European Commission and Council want to adopt a regulation that would allow Internet service providers (ISPs) to discriminate between different types of customers and different types of online content, in order to charge extra for most different types of online services. Only those who pay more would have easy access to an audience online – killing the openness that drives the Internet's social and economic success.

freedom of speech may be lost

-

Even though the Parliament previously insisted on respect for the rule of law and opposed arbitrary censorship, the compromise text is not clear enough and has no obvious meaning in this regard, failing to effectively protect Internet users from censorship. The text was proposed by the UK as a means of creating confusion, allowing Britain's arbitrary, unaccountable, counterproductive Internet blocking and filtering to continue. Such power in hands of private companies would greatly damage our freedom of expression onlineand endangers freedom of speech and the rule of law across Europe, if accepted in this regulation.

surcharge for Innovation

-

The diversity and innovative capacity of the Internet depends upon its openness and neutrality. This risks being dramatically undermined if the passages of the regulation about specialised services, class based traffic management and the practice of zero-rating are not improved. We have to protect the neutral infrastructure of the Internet from discriminatory business models that try to make money with scarcity or by allowing Internet service providers to decide who gets access to their customers and under what conditions.

Now is the time to fix the regulation, bring clarity to the text and ensure that network discrimination will not be permitted in the EU.
