Policy matters
Policy does matter. We may think that the Internet is a free digital environment, where no laws apply but there are many cases which contradict this notion.
In this section of Iptegrity.com, I report on EU policy related to the Internet and online content, in particular, where policy intiatives affect access to film, music and television, and I highlight issues for the policy debate in relation to the Internet. For 2008-2009, copyright enforcement has been the hot topic, with net neutrality emerging as well, in 2009. My focus is on the European Union and its member states - for example, I am currently covering Internet policy - specifically copyright enforcement intiatives - in France and the UK.
I am most interested in the citizen's perspective. However, the issues I cover will affect the Internet and telecoms industries, as well as the media and entertainment industries.
Iptegrity.com offers original reporting from the EU, as well as comment and opinion on issues raised in other media, including non-English language media in Europe. Iptegrity.com is the main English-language news source for the Telecoms Package review of EU telecoms law.
