Long, long overdue. I sincerely hope that the big corporates don't manage to get this watered down.

Good. They are and should be just dumb packet shifters, not some sort of man in the middle broker taking backhanders for prioritising 'partners' and their own services.

Hope the roaming thing applies to data fees and not just calls.

Same here. It means I don't have to have 2 different sims going for when I travel to Spain!!

For the most part I do think this is an excellent decision but does it apply to filtering P2P content ?
I don't want my neighbours saturating my connection with their P2P traffic.

I see this has gone onto HEXUS now, so will lock:
