EUnätkodsregler

EUnätkodsregler, also known as the EU Net Neutrality Regulations, are a set of guidelines established by the European Union to ensure that internet service providers (ISPs) treat all internet traffic equally. These regulations aim to prevent ISPs from favoring certain websites, applications, or services over others, thereby maintaining an open and competitive internet environment.

The EUnätkodsregler were introduced in 2015 and have since been updated to address emerging challenges in the digital landscape. The regulations prohibit ISPs from engaging in practices such as throttling, blocking, or prioritizing internet traffic based on the content, application, website, or service used. This includes practices like paid prioritization, where ISPs would charge users for faster access to certain services.

The regulations also mandate that ISPs provide transparent information to consumers about their network management practices. This includes details about any traffic management techniques used, the criteria for applying these techniques, and the impact on users' internet experience.

EUnätkodsregler apply to all ISPs, including those providing fixed, mobile, and satellite internet services. The regulations are enforced by national regulatory authorities within the EU, which are responsible for ensuring compliance and addressing any violations.

The EU Net Neutrality Regulations are part of a broader effort to promote digital rights and ensure that the internet remains a platform for innovation, free expression, and equal access to information. By preventing ISPs from discriminating against certain types of traffic, these regulations help to maintain a level playing field for all internet users and services.
