🚨 “Network Fees” = Fair Share by the back door The proposed Network Fees Act is being framed as a technical adjustment to rebalance the digital ecosystem. It isn’t. It is the return of “Fair Share”—an idea borrowed from the telephone era, where networks charged termination fees simply for accepting traffic. That model was rejected by the internet for good reason. 🔹 Over 99% of internet interconnection is settlement-free 🔹 Connectivity itself is the product ISPs already sell to consumers 🔹 Introducing access fees means double charging for the same connectivity The consequences are predictable: • Higher costs for online services • New barriers for startups and SMEs • Reinforced dominance of large incumbents • Slower innovation in Europe This proposal does not “rebalance” the market. It distorts it — quietly, structurally, and permanently. 📣 MEPs should look past the branding. This is Fair Share reintroduced through legislation, not evidence-based digital policy. Europe needs an open, competitive internet — not toll roads for basic connectivity. #NetworkFees #FairShare #OpenInternet #NetNeutrality #DigitalSingleMarket #CompetitionPolicy #SMEs #Innovation #EUdigital #EUlaw FOR MORE SEE https://lnkd.in/epciesmj
