stage I am not happy to change the sense of the mentioning of net neutrality,
which was a compromise between those who don’t want it there at all and
those who think we must include it. It must stay with the “relevant aspects
of net neutrality only” reference and I think the sense of the discussion
that led to the statement supports that. That wording has been carefully
negotiated between interested parties.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
