Ofcom briefing: Net neutrality review
Ofcom briefing: Net neutrality review
In September 2021, the UK regulator Ofcom launched a call for evidence as it looks to review how the UK’s net neutrality framework is functioning.
‘Net neutrality’, sometimes referred to as the ‘open internet’, is the principle of ensuring that users of the internet can control what they see and do online – not the internet service provider (ISP) that connects them to the internet.
Join us on Wednesday 20 October at 14:00 for this virtual techUK briefing on Ofcom's Net Neutrality Review to hear directly from the regulator on the purpose and scope, key areas of focus, what Ofcom seeks in its call for evidence.
