Abstract

The European Commission's upcoming proposed Digital Networks Act is proposing to fundamentally reshape telecoms regulation for Europe. This has the potential to affect not just telecoms operators, but could usher new regulations and processes that affect the Open Internet more broadly.

This talk will briefly describe the recent political history that has led to the DNA proposal, and highlight some of the possible changes that could impact Internet networks, services, and users.
