Following some heated debates, the European Parliament today voted down various amendments aimed at strengthening network neutrality in the new telecommunications package which has been on the agenda of the European Union for more than two years. “A majority of 436 to 238 members of the Parliament rejected an amendment that sought to disallow management of internet traffic based on different classes of traffic. Similarly, amendments to allow member states to ban zero-rating were voted down by a coalition of members of the European People’s Party (EPP) and the Socialists and Democrats (S&D).”
