The European Union establishes barriers to free internet – the Nación.com.py

Spain. El Pais.

The European Union has established the principle of net neutrality, but with high-profile exceptions. Telcos can not block, discriminate or slowing Internet traffic regardless of the contents that go through their networks or providers thereof, under the rules to which guidelines had access El País. However, operators can bypass that rule by court order, to ensure safety, or when they feel there is danger of congestion in their networks.

The group brings together European national regulators approved last 25 August the final text of the regulations that regulate network neutrality, a controversial subject that aims to prevent internet service provider (ISP) such as Telefonica, Vodafone and Orange, blocks or filters, according to their commercial interests, traffic generated by firms of content and applications on the (Google, Facebook, Youtube, Spotify, etc.) or network of its own subscribers.

After years of discussions, the regulation establishes the right of users to all data traveling on the network have the same treatment, but with exceptions and lots of small print. The regulation is more generous with the positions of traders that approved in the United States, which serves as a reference for models who bet on fewer controls network, in the spirit of solidarity and openness that was born the web 25 years ago.

STANDARD

What is net neutrality? The regulation defines this principle as a debate on how ISPs manage data or “traffic” carried on their networks when end users demand content, applications, services like Youtube or Spotify, or data is exchanged between them. The principle of neutrality enshrined that should treat all data equally, no matter what they contain, the application transmitting the data, where they come from or where they go.

What operators are prohibited network? This is the fundamental point of the new standard. It prohibits ISPs from “blocking”, “slow” or “discriminate” internet traffic. That is, an operator can not block a type of service, for example, Internet calls (VoIP) or streaming (online video)
