#11np: Thomas Lohninger - 'Schroedinger’s net neutrality'

Thomas Lohninger at "Das ist Netzpolitik!"-Cnoference on 4.9.2015 in Berlin about "Schroedinger’s net neutrality".

In Europe all three institutions have agreed on a text for net neutrality that is a little bit like Schrodinger’s cat – it could allow protection against network discrimination or it could legalise it. So far we don’t know and even the politicians who will vote on it don’t. The text is written so badly, ambiguous and contradictory that only regulators and courts can give it real meaning in the future.

Next month the European Parliament will have to vote. This talks tries to give an understanding of where we are, how we got there and which path we have to go forward.
