Strasbourg, May 6 2009 - The debates on the Telecoms Package, thanks
to a remarkable citizen mobilization, led to an extremely strong
recognition of the access to internet as a fundamental right with the
re-adoption of amendment 138/46 in second reading by a qualified
majority. It is the final blow against three-strike laws such as
Nicolas Sarkozy's HADOPI bill, which are explicitely banned. The
European Parliament nevertheless adopted a soft compromise on issues
of network equity: no strong protection against "net discrimination"
was adopted.


Which as far as I can tell is good news.
