Network Neutrality Is Law In Chile

Posted by timothy on from the muy-bien-tal-vez dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Chile is the first country of the world to guarantee by law the principle of network neutrality, according to the Teleccomunications Market Comission's Blog from Spain. The official newspaper of the Chilean Republic published yesterday a Law that guarantees that any Internet user will be able to use, send, receive or offer any content, applications or legal services over the Internet, without arbitrary or discriminatory blocking."

    That makes sense. When I eat chile, I never have trouble with traffic flow or port blocking.

    In Chile. If the servers are not in Chile then this law doesn't apply.

    You expect Chile to enforce its will on foreign countries?

    What do you think they are, AMERICA?
