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.
