[governance] Netherlands Law Blocking Skype (Request for Assistance)

[Hellmonds, Peter (NSN - DE/Munich)]

Dear Salanieta,

an article by the Guardian claims that: 

 

"The Netherlands <http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/netherlands>  has
become the first country in Europe
<http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/europe-news>  to enshrine the concept
of network neutrality into national law by banning its mobile telephone
operators from blocking or charging consumers extra for using internet
<http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/internet> -based communications
services."

et-neutrality-law/print

The Register also provides a link to an article containing an unofficial
translation:

-play/

 

Original law (dutch):

So, it seems to be the opposite of what you thought it meant to say.

Dear All,

 

I went on WorldLII to try and extract the Netherlands Law that blocks
skype and could not access English version. If anyone has a copy, I
would be grateful to access it. I would also be grateful to see the
transcripts if it is available on how this law was debated.

 

Warm Regards

Sala
