Minister Kamp (Economic Affairs) wants, in the Netherlands a ban on positive price discrimination, also known as ‘zero-rating’, are preserved.
That means that providers have no services to offer that are excluded from normal data limits. That if not already under an earlier Dutch law, but that must be altered by the introduction of European rules.
According to Camp, there is under the European law space for an EU member state to have own rules to maintain that are more stringent than the guidelines produced by BEREC, a group of European supervisors. The senate voted Tuesday in with his interpretation.
Only the PVV voted against. That party had also submitted a motion which called for the Eu to follow suit and zero-rating or to allow, but there was no support for.
T-Mobile wants to correct to zero-rating, by the stream of music, without MB’s from the data bundle will disappear. According to the provider have the European rules will prevail.
The company sees itself supported by the GSMA, an international association of telecommunications companies. That group says “serious concerns” about the Dutch law, which would allow for less innovation and lower quality services for consumers.
The Authority Consumer & Market announced Monday is already starting an investigation into the service from T-Mobile. By the mood in the senate is the supervisor also formally authorised to take enforcement action.
If the investigation of the ACM, shows that the service of T-Mobile is not acceptable – such as now probably is – can the provider having that opinion to the court. T-Mobile says that will do. The judge will eventually have to be fought who’s right.
