The MPs Laure La Raudière (UMP) and Corinne Erhel (PS) presented on Wednesday 13 April, a report on Net Neutrality to the Economic Committee of the National Assembly. In drafting this document, the MPs interviewed over a hundred players, and had already published a preliminary report at the end of January.
The European Commission must also make a report soon on this topic. The debate over Net neutrality, the principle is to ensure equal transmission of data over the Internet, regardless of the device or type of service available online, is the subject of intense debate since the mid- 2000, in Europe and the United States.
This unwritten principle provides, for example, an operator can not decide to give priority to certain content, such as email, compared to others, such as video or P2P. The debate was clearly boosted by increased data traffic, the explosion in the number of connected devices, and the distribution of the costs of these new uses.
The issue of network neutrality also arises as more and more governments are considering systems of blocking or filtering to fight against cybercrime or child pornography. To ensure access "without discrimination" to the Internet, the document establishes two MPs a list of nine proposals to meet four key objectives.
"Proposal No. 1 is to define in law the neutrality of the Internet, the report said. The legislature must send a clear message to stakeholders, public and private, on his commitment to the protection of the Internet, and enshrined in law the principle of neutrality is a good process. " FRAMING THE OBLIGATIONS OF BLOCKING The document also aims to "regulate strictly the obligations of Internet blocking", through the intervention of a judge.
"The goal is to avoid as much oblige operators to block electronic communications because the blocking has direct negative effects (restriction of freedom of expression and communication) and indirect (overlocking, development, encryption, etc. .) "underlines text. A proposal that goes against the devices introduced by the Law on online games, or as part of the Homeland Security Act.
Article 4 of Law Loppsi 2, passed in February introduced a blocking sites containing child pornography, after order of an administrative authority - and not a judicial court. The report's authors stress in particular that "Governments are faced with organized criminal groups who use the Internet in a sophisticated way and manage to escape the bonds of blocking." This report on Net neutrality is given also aims to "ensure the quality of the Internet." To do this, Arcep, the French telecoms regulator, could be responsible for overseeing the transparency of operators on the quality of their service.
"The principles and proposals in the report constitute an important step towards legal protection of neutrality essential foundation of the Internet. In addition, the Mission is timely to question the validity of screening measures," the group welcomes the Squaring the Net, in a statement.
