Sir Tim Berners-Lee calls on Europeans to help 'save the open internet'

"However, Sir Tim, along with law professors Barbara van Schewick and Larry Lessig, has urged the public to engage in the consultation, which runs until July 18, in order to pressure regulators into closing what they call “potential loopholes” that could threaten net neutrality.

“Network neutrality for hundreds of millions of Europeans is within our grasp,” the letter says.

“Securing this is essential to preserve the open Internet as a driver for economic growth and social progress. But the public needs to tell regulators now to strengthen safeguards, and not cave in to telecommunications carriers’ manipulative tactics.”"
