Council pitches to limit Telecoms Package Third Reading
,----[ Quote ]
| A UK Parliamentary statement confirms that the Council will send the
| Telecoms Package to a Third Reading, but it will put pressure on the European
| Parliament to narrowly limit the discussions. It claims Amendment
| 138 ‘interferes with national competencies' and ‘will constrain future UK
| policy.' To put this in context, the UK wants to use protocol blocking and
| technical measures against file-sharers. The rules of Third Reading will
| permit a wider discussion of users rights.

BT Throttling Online Video For Competitive, Not Congestion, Reasons
,----[ Quote ]
| Case in point? BT. The British telco is starting to heavily throttle all
| video -- especially the BBC's online video player. This is the same BT, by
| the way, that just two years ago was saying there was no need to traffic
| shape or break net neutrality, and that it could handle all traffic issues
| with basic upgrades. So what happened? Well, it appears BT didn't like the
| competition from online video providers, so it decided to pretend it needed
| to do this for congestion purposes.
