Net Neutrality 2018: Where Do We Stand Now?

An exploration of international experiences and challenges ahead

Chaired by Rob Bratby and held at Arnold & Porter's London office, four speakers discussed how during the past decade, net neutrality has grown to be one of the major policy debates on the information society scene, reflecting the tensions between rapidly 'converging' actors in the market. The panelists discussed the lessons learnt from experience and cases so far in Europe; heard the latest from the US 'moving away' from the Open Internet Order, as it's been characterised; and looked ahead to future questions, such as the context of IoT and 5G where the different future network architectures may raise questions on how net neutrality would be respected and the rules enforced.
