Sare-neutraltasuna Europar Batasuneko Komunikazio Elektronikoetako Merkatuan: merkatua behingoz lehia askera irekitzeko baldintza

Abstract

Ensuring net neutrality is essential in our current society where the dependency on research, development and innovation is unremitting. Such neutrality guarantees the proper functioning of economic progress. Particularly, the growing use of the Internet has shown the importance of an electronic communications network. It has also rekindled the debate about the neutrality of the network, because sometimes the interests of content providers (applications and information) do not match those of the network providers. This article analyzes the market of electronic communications in the European Union since it is time to open up the market to competition and get a neutral Internet. In short, net neutrality is not the first step in opening up the market to competition, but rather, the last one.
