ATRS up in Chile in the defense of net neutrality?

You do the law that I make the rules. This law reflects the principles established by a law may be altered in the regulation implementing it. This is the controversy that exists in Chile after release draft regulations for the law requiring him to defend Net Neutrality According Fayerwayer, picking up a leak of Neutrality Yes, some places the regulation could not be aligned with principles set forth by law.

The core of the debate is that in the said Regulation, Article 8, puedenrealizar access providers block acts, interference and degradation of the Internet, where customers have been warned about it. According to the article, "is regarded as restrictive action to the net neutrality all that traffic management measures and / or network management that tends to block, interfere, prioritize, discriminate against, hinder, restrict and / or in any way hinder access to services, applications and web content, which has not been expressed previously due and users informed by the media covered by this regulation or to be executed in an arbitrary or discriminatory.

" Does it follow from this that if ISPs are advertising their discriminatory conduct traffic ... these would be legal?. The law allows traffic management, for example, to manage its saturation, provided they do not affect competition. The Chilean authorities have explained that the law allows traffic management to ensure quality of service.

"Therefore the law and regulations establish the obligation of the companies providing transparent bids and plans, detailing the traffic management that makes the company so that people know clearly what will be its speed and can make effective the best service available, forcing companies to compete for quality of service.

" The rule requires companies to publish on a website all indicators of quality of service plans for consumers to choose the best. "According to the authorities, so far," we had a distortion in the market for Internet and many arbitrary. By analogy with drinking water and electricity, we now have a majority of families and consumers who pay inflated costs to keep a light bulb lit in his house, to allow a minority stadium lights day and night.

The law of the market and sincere neutrality allows millions of people with low income, also enter the world of broadband and not remain a privilege of few. In this way, users of bandwidth intensive (heavy users), looking for wider roads to run alone at high speed without cues or signals, may seek to tailor plans to the actual cost, without thereby raise the cost of plans to 95% from users.
