With todays Telecom Minister meeting in Leon the EU debate on network fees aka. fair share is finally over. Ministers issue statements distancing themselves. Even Bretons’ speech makes no attempt. We saved #NetNeutrality in the EU once more. Brazil, India & USA are next.

#NetNeutrality is a global issue. The indivisibility of the net is what’s at stake. Meaningful connectivity for all is the goal. This is a battle worth fighting and with every attack more people join our side.

The Commission will issue a white paper in February 2024, but we can expect no legal proposal in this term. The next sock puppet of the Telcos in the Commission – Breton or his successor – will surely try again, but it will be a more uphill battle for them and we will win again.
