Full net-neutrality by law in The Netherlands - Devil - 2011-06-28
Today, a law passed in the Dutch parliament, enforcing full net-neutrality to -all- electronic communications media. So it's forbidden for all telecommunications providers, to tamper, limit or block -any- service (Skype, mobile messengers, Netflix, etc) in any way, or ask extra money for the service.
I was surprised we were only the second country (after Chile) in the world to have such regulation to guarantee full net-neutrality by law.
How is everyone thinking about full net-neutrality in their own country? Should it be in the law in your country too? I heard it was a hot issue in the USA at this moment as well, but I didn't really get what the current situation is now. Does anyone have more info?

I think it's pretty cool. I don't have a phone capable of using those things though, but I think it's a good thing nonetheless.

Yeah, it probably won't change in the states any time soon. Companies are just beginning to understand the the internet can be used as a massive ad campaign for half the price of other ways.
