New teeth to protect net neutrality?

Earlier this month the European Parliament (EP) voted to legally protect net neutrality, ensuring that all traffic across the Internet will be treated equally by ISPs without any form of discrimination. MEPs have become increasingly concerned that without such protection, network providers could favour certain types of traffic and charge the content provider (e.g. BBC for iPlayer)a premium for this whilst throttling traffic from rival content providers - leading to potentially anti-competitive behaviour. Such activities have already been reported among some mobile operators who have allegedly blocked and throttled Skype across their networks. This is obviously bad news for consumers and could restrict future innovation and make market entry more difficult.
