In sharp and deliberate contrast to America\u2019s bullheaded rush into destroying net neutrality protections, net neutrality in France is alive and well. French<\/a> internet service providers (ISPs) and telecoms have 9 months to comply with ARCEP\u2019s new pro-net neutrality position \u2013 which includes explicit directions not to block or throttle p2p or VPN traffic. The new position was stated recently by ARCEP, the French Regulatory Authority for Electronic Communications and Posts, known in France as L\u2019Arcep.\u00a0According to Wikipedia<\/a>, ARCEP is France\u2019s equivalent of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC<\/a>). ARCEP\u2019s President, S\u00e9bastien Soriano, stated at a press event publicizing ARCEP\u2019s new State of the Internet in France overview<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026in recent months, we have lifted the ban on VPN and peer-to-peer in some ISPs.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

ARCEP has also promised to create an area for internet users to report net neutrality violations as well as a site for internet users to gauge their \u201ctrue\u201d internet speed and quality of their connection. Additionally, ARCEP will utilize\u00a0software capabilities to compare the traffic at different ISPs and see if certain things, like YouTube and Netflix, are blocked or throttled.<\/p>\n

A win for net neutrality in France<\/h2>\n

Besides France, another country that has committed to preserving net neutrality<\/a> protections on their internet is Canada<\/a>; the regulatory authority there stated:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cInternet providers must treat data traffic the same, regardless of content.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

France is supporting the same net neutrality principle, and even specifically mentions p2p and vpn traffic as things that should not be blocked by ISPs. France, and the rest of the EU, also currently has no rules against zero-rating, and ARCEP has promised to examine zero-rating issues case-by-case. Zero-rating is a net neutrality violation by ISPs for the reason described by the European Digital Rights Association:<\/p>\n

\u201cZero-\u00adrating allows ISPs (Internet service providers) to make certain applications more attractive than others, thereby picking winners and losers online.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some noted that zero-rating was only one of the potential issues that arise when net neutrality protections are removed. Benjamin Bayart, President of the French\u00a0Data Network, commented at the same press event:<\/p>\n

\u201cMobile operators alter the content of their subscribers via DNS or proxies, often to display or remove advertising. It is an attack on the neutrality of the net using the\u00a0tracing of Internet users.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Net neutrality in France will soon contrast net neutrality in the United States if the FCC\u2019s anti-net neutrality actions go through later this year. If you\u2019re interested in net neutrality, the Removal of Net Neutrality Simulator<\/a> is a fun tool that allows you to somewhat visualize the internet without net neutrality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
