The ink's not dry on California'a new net neutrality law and the US govt is already suing

h1248f

Meanwhile, my government signed net neutrality into law back in 2014 after an official complaint by the local Internet Assoc. was sent to the Ministry of Communications about ISPs blocking/throttling VoIP and P2P traffic to the point of being unusable - way back in 2009. (the MoC is basically our equivalent of the US FCC)

This law forces any ISP to treat traffic in an equal manner.

there are only 3 situations where net neutrality is overridden:

1. An explicit written request by subscriber or group of subscribers to the ISP/MSP

2. Authorization by the Minister of Communications

3. Court order

All I'm gonna say this to Californians: Good Luck! (you're gonna need it)

Oh, and did I mention that we don't use data caps on home broadband connections?
