"A sage lawyer, Barbara van Schewick, is warning about a vote in the European Parliament next week designed to preserve net neutrality, saying that it is likely to fall in such a way that reflects badly on trade and communications.
Van Schewick, who is professor of law and director of Stanford Law School's Centre for Internet and Society, said that parliament members have a few days to get their heads in order and adopt what she called "key amendments".
"A compromise proposal up for vote next Tuesday contains major problems that threaten the open internet in Europe. Contrary to some claims, the proposal is weaker than net neutrality rules in the US. European citizens deserve the same free and open internet that Americans can enjoy," she said."
