""Europe will have far weaker network neutrality rules than the US, and the European internet would become less free and less open," writes Barbara van Schewick, a Stanford law professor and director of the Stanford Center for Internet and Society. (The US Federal Communications Commission passed net neutrality regulations in February.)
"Large corporations that pay to be in the fast lane will have higher costs, so we the customers will be forced to pay higher prices for their products and services," van Schewick wrote in a lengthy Medium post last week explaining the major loopholes and their implications. "Small businesses that are unable to pay will be shut out of the market.""
