The EU ’s next technical crusade could be against traffic - blocking cellular letter carrier , according to aGerman newspaper . Brussels be warn : you should have a bun in the oven a hell of a competitiveness over this one .
A proposal has already been drafted , challenging mailman who disallow VoIP dealings over their 3 gibibyte networks . Deconstructed , this kind of selective association seems fundamentally wrong : these bearer are choosing to blockade certain data point not for traffic direction reasons , but to undermine competing service . But the diaphanous magnitude of the free-enterprise threat — the possible action that VoIP over cellular data could totally ruin conventional voice services — at least explains why company do this , and why regulatory bodies have been so reluctant to affect the upshot .
At this leg , it ’s a removed upshot for US carriers , much less cellular telephone users . But an EU / Trade Commission intervention into the European radio receiver manufacture could at least remind US regulator that , yes , filtering wireless data for anticompetitive purpose is actually kind of a dick move .
