For decades now, the traditional telcos keep trying to find ways to get newer companies to pay them... whether it is dressed up as " #FairShare " or #NetworkFees or "dispute resolution" or whatever... in the end they are flawed ideas that are solutions trying to find problems (that don't exist).

Tanto rumore per nulla: #netflix e le telco della Sud Cora firmano in transazione, mettendo fine alla disputa sui #networkfees #fairshare. Meglio un accordo commerciale che l’insolita pretesa di regolamentare il traffico IP. Da notare però che nel caso della Corea del Sud la disputa riguarda il traffico consegnato all’estero, non quello nazionale https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Media-Entertainment/Netflix-and-South-Korean-telco-end-lawsuits-and-team-up

On Tuesday, the European Parliament voted to reject a proposal by Europe's largest telecoms to force websites to pay them.
Press reports suggesting otherwise are wrong.

#EU #BigTelcos #Broadband #NetworkFees #NetNeutrality: "In a frontal assault on net neutrality, the European Commission wants to force websites and apps to pay fees to broadband companies like Telefonica, Orange and Deutsche Telekom, and it just closed its call for comments on the proposal.

Network fees like this have never existed in the EU. They violate the EU's net neutrality law, and, if put in place, would be a radical departure from how the internet has operated and flourished over the last 30 years.

While reporting solid profits and telling their investors everything is going great, European internet service providers (ISPs) have seemingly convinced the European Commission that the normal rise in online traffic is overwhelming and that, without the government requiring online companies to pay them, they’ll be unable to roll out 5G and fiber fast enough to meet EU goals.

In fact, the largest ISPs appear to want to have websites and apps collectively pay them €36-40 bln a year, according to a 2022 study funded by their lobbying group, ETNO.

There’s a ton of reasons why this would be terrible public policy (see my explainer here for a comprehensive rundown), but I want to focus in this post on exactly how it violates net neutrality.

Both the ISPs and the Commission have repeatedly said that such fees wouldn’t violate the principles of net neutrality or the EU’s Open Internet Regulation, but repetition does not create truth.

Network fees violate net neutrality and would severely distort online competition and user choice."

#EU #Broadband #BigTelco #NetworkFees #NetworkNeutrality: "Digital rights groups are strongly against the introduction of network usage fees, for reasons that range from its inherent – and unsolvable – contradiction with net neutrality, to the detrimental impact that network fees will have on European consumers. In its contribution to the exploratory consultation, the NGO Epicenter.works reminds the Commission that network fees “simply cannot be done without infringing on net neutrality”.

The Internet Society echoes: “The introduction of a mandatory payment mechanism would be directly inconsistent and incompatible with [net neutrality] obligations, with direct harm to consumers as a result. For instance, enforcement of the new obligation would give ISPs the right to treat traffic differently, e.g., by allowing them to block, or in other ways penalize, services that do not wish to pay the ISP. In consequence, users would no longer have access to an open Internet, but would be limited to the services that have concluded an agreement to pay their ISP.”

Eventually, end users would suffer most if big telcos get their way. “Consumers will be hurt by poorer service quality and higher prices. SMEs will also face higher prices and a deteriorating service quality as network topology adapts to this artificial price regulation. The cost of innovating in Europe will increase and the resilience of the overall internet could fall below required levels to overcome a potential next crisis. Smaller ISPs currently do more for network development than incumbents, yet they will be hit particularly hard in their ability to compete,” according to Epicenter.works."

While the internet is far from perfect, the solution to its growing pains is not going to be found in overturning its fundamental economics & tossing out #netneutrality in a fruitless attempt to solve a non-existent problem. #networkfees

These kinds of #networkfees have never existed in the EU & violate Europe’s net neutrality law. They would be a radical departure from how the internet has operated over the last 30 years & would harm European consumers, businesses, creators, and non-profits.

#Netneutrality: The EU Commission is evaluating a proposal by Europe’s biggest telecoms to force websites to pay ISPs. These #networkfees are dangerous, unnecessary & violate #netneutrality.

The consultation closed on Friday.
