I am wondering if net neutrality should not be enforced by international trade agreements, such as TAFTA and others.
Net neutrality means that European ISPs cannot slow down the internet from American Companies and vice versa.
What Pai is proposing will give frightening ideas to foreign ISPs. Ask Facebook a cut of its ads or slow down its traffic. Ask Apple a cut of app purchases, or slow down downloads from the app store. Ask a cut of the streaming of any Hollywood movie, otherwise the streaming quality will be inferior to local European movies.
My intuition is that moving away from net neutrality is dangerous for healthy trade between countries and should be enforced at the international level.
I am wondering if current trade agreements already have implicit net neutrality rules. If it's not the case, we should promote such measures for the next generation of international trade agreements.
