Introduction and scope of the consultation
P3
In this paper BEREC invites stakeholders to participate in a public consultation on an evaluation of the application of the BEREC Net Neutrality Guidelines[1] (the “Guidelines”) in the context of the Net Neutrality Regulation[2] (the “Regulation”).
The objective of this consultation is to gather information on how stakeholders have experienced the application of the Regulation, as provided for in the Guidelines, since April 30th 2016.
BEREC realizes the importance many in the public domain attach to expressing their position on the general subject of net neutrality. Yet, in this consultation BEREC focuses on the actual experiences of stakeholders with the application of the current Regulation and Guidelines. It is noted that early 2019 the Regulation itself will be evaluated by the European Commission[3].
In addition to the general aspects of the application of the Regulation and Guidelines, BEREC is especially interested in the experiences of stakeholders concerning impact of the Guidelines on the adoption of new technologies.
The public consultation is open till 25 April 2018 17:00 CET. During this period, responses can be either:
- send by email to NN-Evaluation-Consultation@berec.europa.eu
- or be posted on https://consultations.berec.europa.eu/en/berec
Your input will be used to prepare for a BEREC Opinion for the European Commission in relation to the mentioned evaluation of the Regulation. BEREC aims at publishing this Opinion at the end of 2018.
Please answer with regard to both national and pan-European practices, where you find such distinction appropriate.
