<p style="text-align: justify;" class="ecxPreformattedText"><span style='font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11pt;' lang="EN-US">The
network neutrality debate is gaining great political momentum. Several
countries have already implemented network neutrality laws, while many others
are currently elaborating or scrutinising the opportunity to elaborate network
neutrality legislation. Yet, we are witnessing today the emergence of a variety
of divergent (and somewhat incompatible) approaches towards whether or not
network neutrality is enshrined in law.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" class="ecxPreformattedText"><span style='font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11pt;' lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" class="ecxPreformattedText"><span style='font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11pt;' lang="EN-US">In
the U.S., the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeal invalidated the U.S. FCC Open
Internet Order. On the other hand, the Brazilian National Congress has recently
adopted the Marco Civil an Internet Bill of Rights containing network
neutrality provisions, while at the European level net-neutrality is going to
be enshrined into legislation but the outcome of this latter process seem
currently difficult to predict.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" class="ecxPreformattedText"><span style='font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11pt;' lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" class="ecxPreformattedText"><span style='font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11pt;' lang="EN-US">While
the network neutrality debate continues, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) may
enter into opaque interconnection-arrangements (peering agreements) that might
include discriminatory provisions. In the U.S., for instance, Content and
Applications Providers (CAPs) have been experimenting new typology of peering
agreements that require CAPs to pay ISPs for a direct connection to their
consumers (so called “sender-pays” model).</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" class="ecxPreformattedText"><span style='font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11pt;' lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" class="ecxPreformattedText"><span style='font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11pt;' lang="EN-US">The
aforementioned issues seem difficult to solve without a serious reflection
aimed at allowing the elaboration of evidence-based strategies. The 2014 Report
of the Dynamic Coalition on Network Neutrality aims at fostering such a
reflection in order to provide a valuable contribution to the crucial debate
pertaining to the balance between network-neutrality implementation and
infrastructure enhancement.</span></p>
