Commission steps up pressure on Telecoms Package 

,----[ Quote ]
| The European Commission is putting pressure on the Council and the new 
| European Parliament  for the swift adoption of the Telecoms Package. Such  
| adoption would mean that Internet access could legally be restricted by 
| broadband providers and would not allow for proper scrutiny of the law or any 
| consideration of the implications of Amendment 138.

The Big Broadband Bluff

,----[ Quote ]
| This is precisely what net neutrality is all about. It doesn't matter what 
| the bits are, you pay purely on the basis of quantity or speed you want. 
| Attempts by BT and Virgin to pretend that high-quality video streaming 
| services are somehow different are just a pathetic attempt to try it on with 
| authorities and users that don't know any better. We do, so we need to call 
| their bluff.
