Austrian Regulatory Authority for Broadcasting and Telecommunications (RTR) has decided not to regulate network operators regarding #RouterFreedom, allowing ISPs to impose their equipment on consumers.
We at FSFE regret this decision as a missed opportunity for #DeviceNeutrality in Austria.
However, as RTR reiterated, the current decision is not final and the regulator will re-evaluate this framework in the future! 🤞🏼
Router Freedom: German telcos want to exclude fiber - https://fsfe.org/news/2023/news-20230915-01.en.html "German network operators have requested the national regulator Bundesnetzagentur to start procedures to exclude Router Freedom from fiber networks."
It would be nice if there was such #routerfreedom equivalent in the UK.
I was lied to by fluidata/fluidone when I moved to them, saying I could use my own and then backtracking completely. Before then at a different ISP it was just a flat-out "no" and I didn't have any choice.
It's taken me a while to find a good one, but #IDNet allows it, which is nice.
Good News! The @EU_Commission has published a study on the future of Net Neutrality regulation, confirming #RouterFreedom as a priority for the future implementation of Open Internet in 🇪🇺
