Adesso, anche il parlamento Europeo contrario (duramente) alla proposta ETNO e a favore della Neutralità della Rete e del best effort

Mi sa che manca solo il mio fruttivendolo che si esprima contro la proposta portata avanti da Gambardella..

IMPORTANTE: alla fine la proposta di ETNO rischia di essere un boomerang .

Dice infatti il Parlamento Europeo che qualsiasi cambiamento deve osservare i principi del libero mercato e della neutralità della rete e che va salvaguardato il best effort. Evviva.

lamenta la mancanza di trasparenza, dice che ITU nè altro luogo centralizzato devono avere la governance di internet, che la proposta di ETNO (senza citarla) avrebbe un impatto negativo, che è preocupato che se questi cambiamenti avvenissero potrebbero seriamente compromettere lo sviluppo di servizi e l'intera economia digitale, abbraccia il modello multistakeholder,è preoccupato che le proposte porterebbero ad aumenti di prezzi e minaccerebbero la competizione danneggiando l'innovazione.

si oppone a qualsiasi proposta di cambiamento del perimetro del mandato dell'ITU e chiede agli stati dell'unione di evitare cambiamenti alle regole ITU che potrebbero arrecare danno alla apertura, neutralità della rete e principio end-to-end, chiede alla commissione di adottare tale posizione nelle negoziazioni, richiama l'importanza del best effort

il documento viene mandato a tutti i governi europei

Questo il testo della risoluzione adottata ieri (pag.113) Download 2012.11.22 Risoluzione parlamento europeo contro ETNO pag 113 (il testo pubblicato e' "provisional", potrebbe cambiare qualche virgola)

1. Calls on the Council and the Commission to ensure that any changes to the International Telecommunication Regulations are compatible with the EU acquis and further the Union’s objective of, and interest in, advancing the internet as a truly public place, where human rights and fundamental freedoms, particularly freedom of expression and assembly, are respected and the observance of free market principles, net neutrality and entrepreneurship are ensured;

2. Regrets the lack of transparency and inclusiveness surrounding the negotiations for WCIT 12, given that the outcomes of this meeting could substantially affect the public interest;

3. Believes that the ITU, or any other single, centralised international institution, is not the appropriate body to assert regulatory authority over either internet governance or internet traffic flows;

4. Stresses that some of the ITR reform proposals would negatively impact the internet, its architecture, operations, content and security, business relations and governance, as well as the free flow of information online;

5. Believes that, as a consequence of some of the proposals presented, the ITU itself could become the ruling power over aspects of the internet, which could end the present bottom-up, multi-stakeholder model; expresses concern that, if adopted, these proposals may seriously affect the development of, and access to, online services for end users, as well as the digital economy as a whole; believes that internet governance and related regulatory issues should continue to be defined at a comprehensive and multi-stakeholder level;

6. Is concerned that the ITU reform proposals include the establishment of new profit mechanisms that could seriously threaten the open and competitive nature of the internet, driving up prices, hampering innovation and limiting access; recalls that the internet should remain free and open;

7. Supports any proposals to maintain the current scope of the ITRs and the current mandate of the ITU; opposes any proposals that would extend the scope to areas such as the internet, including domain name space, IP address allocation, the routing of internet-based traffic and content-related issues;

8. Calls on the Member States to prevent any changes to the International Telecommunication Regulations which would be harmful to the openness of the internet, net neutrality, the end-to-end principle, universal service obligations, and the participatory governance entrusted to multiple actors such as governments, supranational institutions, non-governmental organisations, large and small businesses, the technological community and internet users and consumers at large;

9. Calls on the Commission to coordinate the negotiation of the revision of the ITRs on behalf of the European Union, on the basis of inclusively gathered input from multiple stakeholders, through a strategy that primarily aims at ensuring and preserving the openness of the internet, and at protecting the rights and freedoms of internet users online;

10. Recalls the importance of safeguarding a robust best-effort internet, fostering innovation and freedom of expression, ensuring competition and avoiding a new digital divide;

11.  Stresses that the ITRs should state that the ITU recommendations are non-binding documents which promote best practices;

12. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and the Commission, and to the governments and parliaments of the Member States.
