This does I think, have significant implications for "Internet governance"...including changing the status in policy terms of exactly what is being "governed"...

I believe what is being suggested here (the underlying article is unfortunately only in Swedish) is that Internet access (in Sweden and thus by implication in all Developed Countries) should be treated as a a service fundamental to public well-being ("imperative welfare"), presumably on the order of areas such as fresh water and clean air rather than on the order of a discretionary service such as for example cable television or a bank account.

"The proposal in the Renfors-review that ISPs should be given the right and be forced to shut down subscribers whose Internet subscription has repeatedly been used for infringing copyrights has met with strong criticism. Many have noted that shutting down an Internet subscription is a wide-reaching measure that could have serious repercussions in a society where access to the Internet is an imperative welfare-issue. The government has, because of this, decided not to pursue this proposal."
