We have a fresh batch of content on our Taylor Wessing Download site which provides insights into the legal implications of the latest media and technology developments.
This month's articles take a look at the concept of "net neutrality". While the internet has historically operated on a "reasonable efforts" basis, the increasing take-up of high bandwidth services coupled with the explosion in mobile internet has created the opportunity for ISP's to offer enhanced service levels through the use of traffic shaping and more. Such activities are at odds with the concept of "net neutrality", but is this a concept that we should be protecting?
