The ANSSI and Afnic launch the first edition of an accurate and detailed report about French Internet resilency.

The results of the work show that the French Internet resilience is today "acceptable." However, it must remain vigilant because the place of the Internet for all activities and the territory's economy strengthens threats to the network. Thus, the report calls on all actors (ISPs, content distributors, administration, etc..) To make a major investment to build resilience, starting with the use of best practices for deployment.

The Dutch Senate has just adopted a law in favour of the network neutrality. Telecom ISPs are concerned by this new law and should not put in place discriminatory measures regarding the Internet traffic management.

This law aims at protecting Internet users against any restrictive measure or possible records regarding their connection habits.

For a recall, the neutrlity principle is a concept implying the exclusion of any form of discrimination towards the source, the destination or the information contents that are transmited on the network. Thought there should be a distinction between the logic architecture (Web, applications) and physical's (the network, cables), all public players should therefore operate for network opening to a general public on the one hand; and traffic regulation through bandwidth management on the other.
