'Super Telco', Net Neutrality Debated in Europe

My Nipples Explode With Delight writes to mention a ZDNet article looking at a proposal for a 'super-telco' regulation board for the EU. The idea was ripped apart, at an event where Net Neutrality in Europe and roaming charges were also discussed. From the article: "'The Commissioner thinks Net neutrality needs to be addressed,' said Blowers, who claimed a lack of relevant regulation in America had led to the issue being so explosive there. 'It is probably not sufficient to just talk about competition powers to deal with Net neutrality,' he continued, before suggesting that, if tiered services were introduced in the UK and Europe, 'there should be sufficient transparency in the market that consumers can make informed choices'."

And the worst thing of the dirtiest-handle-on-the-frontpage war is that it was started by a male.

"And so, it begins..."
"The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the nipples to vote."

"Slashdot.org was our last, best hope for geeks. It failed. But, in the Year of the Handle War, it became something greater: our last, best hope... for my nipples. The year is 2006. The place: Nippylon 5." - Commander Susan Ivanova, whose nipples, I might add, are a lot better-looking than Commander Taco, who did this voice track last year. Ivanova is always right. Ivanova is God. And every time this post gets modded up, her nipples will explode with delight.

"if tiered services were introduced in the UK and Europe, 'there should be sufficient transparency in the market that consumers can make informed choices'."

That's the key to Network Neutrality. The Internet's Tubes have to be see-through so they know what service they are getting.

An article about network neutrality.
