Telcos 5G manifesto countered by call to online action

"So it’s hardly surprising that the actual  inventor of the World Wide Web (hint, not a telco), Tim Berners-Lee, has chosen this moment to voice fierce opposition to any watering down of the European neutrality rules. He and two US public interest luminaries, Professor Lawrence Lessig and Professor Barbara van Schewick, have written a stiff letter addressed to ‘European citizens, lawmakers and regulators’.

In it they point out to neutrality supporters that now is the time to strike. With the slightly overwrought rallying cry, “We have four days to save the open Internet in Europe” they explain that regulators are now formulating guidelines following the Net Neutrality law passed by the European Parliament last year."
