Brussels, 02/03/2015 (Agence Europe) -Petra Kammerevert MEP (S&D, Greens) welcomed the progress made in the US in favour of Internet neutrality. On Thursday 26 February, the US telecoms regulator adopted a regulatory framework that prevents mobile and landline operators slowing down or blocking content or giving an actor priority subscription on internet “fast lanes”. The MEP stated that “This is proof that without this principle - which requires equal treatment of all network traffic - competition on the Internet will stagnate sooner or later”. This decision is expected to reopen the debate in Europe, despite the fact that member states remain convinced that it is possible to provide investors with incentives to invest in networks that continue to allow the existence of priority “fast lanes” on the Internet, she said.
