[governance] [lack of] Net Neutrality for Mobile Internet in different shapes and forms?

[Roland Perry]

And a code of practice (for "traffic management transparency") has been 
launched, in UK:

<http://www.broadbanduk.org/component/option,com_docman/task,doc_download
/gid,1335/Itemid,63/>

"The Internet, including the networks over which it runs, is a shared 
resource and it is therefore right and important that access to it is 
allocated appropriately between users."

"Traffic management ... of the overall network ... relates to practices 
applied to ensure the most efficient use of the network. This can 
involve deploying techniques to  prioritise  time-critical applications 
(e.g. video streaming) so that they work effectively even in  busy 
periods or congested locations. [and] ISPs can limit the throughput of 
non-time critical applications to provide a better experience for 
consumers accessing other types of traffic."

"Traffic management in relation to a customer’s contract... invoke 
data usage caps or fair usage policies"
