Brussels, October 3: Big European Operators Asking for Bit Tax
A remarkable dozen CEOs of Europe's largest companies are coming to Brussels October 3 to ask Neelie Kroes to allow "new models involving traffic - or quality dependent payments at wholesale level." In other words, the telcos want to collect from Disney, Netflix, Google, Hulu and anyone else who wants to deliver bits to people in Europe. "To 'ell with net neutrality" is the message, which the companies believe will "enable a sustainable digital society." ETNO and the Financial Times are sponsors. It's branded as an "invitation-only" event but it looks like registration is pretty open.
