European Digital Rights (EDRi) responds to BEREC's consultation on net neutrality, welcoming the opportunity to provide input on guidelines for Quality of Service, IP interconnection, and differentiation practices. EDRi emphasizes the importance of maintaining an open and competitive internet in Europe, highlighting the need for regulators to act urgently to safeguard the internet's openness. The organization defines net neutrality as the principle that all electronic communication passing through a network is treated equally and stresses that this principle is crucial for innovation, freedom of expression, and access to knowledge. EDRi also outlines its 6 key principles for Net Neutrality and discusses the need to address degradation, application blocking, and conditions and processes related to net neutrality. The organization argues that net neutrality is essential for both end-users and operators, as it has permitted the creation of huge new markets, and that European policy makers must understand the value of the open internet for society and the economy.
