Seriously, @TheProgressives and in particular René @repasi, why did you just endorse shooting down #netneutrality by supporting the #UnfairShare #NetworkFee in the Parliament's Competition Report?

Despite all independent experts saying it's a bad idea.

Despite regulators saying it's a bad idea.

Despite your own S&D policy position saying it's a bad idea.

Note to @EC_Commissioner_Breton:

"A large majority of [EU] member countries rejected the idea of splitting the costs of the #networks with content providers" due to "the lack of a fact-based approach or evidence of an #investment gap, the risk of driving up prices and the risk to net neutrality. “Let’s not overreact to non-existent market failure,” reportedly argued Germany."

Okay I really didn't want to toot about this tech event but the #Bouygues Telecom lobbyist opened the panel with two of the weirdest falsehoods of the #NetworkFee / #FairShare debate, namely that "data growth" were not controlled by #consumers and that consumers have no benefit from #datagrowth.

Wow I mean growing data transfers is almost 100% controlled by users (by them using or not lots of #bandwidth), and they absolutely benefit from using #4K video streaming otherwise they wouldn't do it.
