Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.78,0:00:12.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What is Net Neutrality?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:13.22,0:00:16.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Net neutrality is the equal treatment of all data.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.36,0:00:18.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just like these data packets.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.10,0:00:26.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Net neutrality means that users like us should decide which devices, software, services, and websites are used.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.66,0:00:33.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Net usage should be open and without any third party telling us what will and won't work.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.46,0:00:34.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why should you care?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.30,0:00:39.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because it is an awesome thing from which you benefit every day
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.22,0:00:42.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and because this\Nawesome thing is currently endangered.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.02,0:00:49.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A neutral network shows no discrimination towards the sender, content, or receiver of sent data packets.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.30,0:00:52.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It doesn't make any difference which rate the sender and receiver are paying,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.66,0:00:56.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or what kind of application or protocol sends or receives the packet.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.72,0:00:58.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or in simpler terms...
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.06,0:01:01.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Imagine the web as a road on which data packets are moving.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.52,0:01:05.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This road connects all\Ncomputers that are connected to the internet.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.06,0:01:07.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,On the crossroads of these streets are routers,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.48,0:01:10.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which direct the data packets on the right route to their destination.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.72,0:01:13.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The routers don't care who comes down the road.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.08,0:01:19.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Nor do they care how they look, where they are from, where they want to go, or what content they have with them.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.26,0:01:22.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This way I can communicate directly with my friends
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.14,0:01:27.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even if they are living on a different continent, pay different rates, or have a different provider than me.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.16,0:01:30.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can access the internet to visit any website or play any game
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.98,0:01:34.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,no matter who is offering them or where the hosting servers are located.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.94,0:01:38.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can watch any videos or read blogs from all over the world,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.72,0:01:41.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I can take part in initiatives and open source projects.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.96,0:01:48.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can do all this whether I am using a tablet, laptop, PC, or mobile device to access the internet.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.76,0:01:52.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is what the internet is all about. This is the way we expect it to work.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.64,0:01:57.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We all benefit, as a community, from these neutral communication networks.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.54,0:02:01.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They guarantee our access to all available content on the worldwide web.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.76,0:02:06.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because of this, the network providers earned billions within the last several years.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.26,0:02:09.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Net neutrality: an awesome idea for all of us.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.30,0:02:11.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, what is the catch?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.12,0:02:17.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The telecommunication providers now make the claim that these imaginary data roads could experience traffic jams.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.32,0:02:20.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They want to abolish the concept of net neutrality.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.12,0:02:24.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Of course, this isn't true because data networks are not real roads.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.16,0:02:27.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As we know from the hardware manufacturers of this network infrastructure,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.74,0:02:31.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there is enormous untapped capacity in the network.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.52,0:02:37.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not to mention, operators of content distribution\Nnetworks tell us that data traffic is unbelievably cheap.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.94,0:02:41.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But why are telecommunication companies making these claims?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.04,0:02:46.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For years these connection providers have been jealously looking at the biggest profit centres of the internet's service providers:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.92,0:02:51.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,content providers, search engines, video platforms and social networks.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.24,0:02:57.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They all want their share of these profits as the digital age reduces traditional revenue streams.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.82,0:03:04.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, they want not only to transport data, they also want to exert power and control on whatever is offered.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.56,0:03:06.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So how do they want to do that?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.38,0:03:14.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To achieve this, the telecommunication providers have considered splitting the data into categories, or rather castes.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.86,0:03:20.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The lowest caste of this system would be the regular internet,\Nwhich would only be available for a limited amount of data,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.96,0:03:26.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and would have to take a back seat to higher castes when being sent through the data network.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.32,0:03:31.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The highest caste contains content from the net provider, segregated from the internet,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.04,0:03:37.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and would receive preferential treatment and unlimited access – naturally through an extrasubscription.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.48,0:03:40.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Between these, many other priority levels are possible.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.08,0:03:46.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example, a caste for data from social networks that raises a traffic data toll for the social network provider.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.46,0:03:51.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This of course means that the receiver will have to pay for an extra subscription\Nas well.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.84,0:03:59.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In the same manner, an extra service to provide games for consoles or reading online newspapers could be implemented.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.18,0:04:05.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They would be separate from the internet, and both the distributor of the service and their customers can be charged for it.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.90,0:04:08.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Competitive offers would be restricted or blocked.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.40,0:04:10.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So how does this work?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.24,0:04:14.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let us go back to imagining the data network as roads.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.64,0:04:23.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The router, which originally directed data to the right route, would be upgraded with toll stations that scan through the data and separate them by castes.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.98,0:04:32.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Depending on the caste, they could use a special road that was separated from the main road, in order to reach their destination faster.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.08,0:04:38.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If the toll was paid for data of a lower caste, they will have to use the slower, regular road.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.46,0:04:43.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If no payment for the data was made by the sender, it would be assigned to a lower caste
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.64,0:04:50.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and would only be allowed to use the street if it is empty and not too many data packets have passed through the toll station.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.30,0:04:58.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Should they be part of programs, services, content or senders that are not liked by the telecommunication provider
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.32,0:05:03.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they will be slowed down excessively, sorted through, and possibly even destroyed.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.44,0:05:11.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Moreover, if this was not clear: we customers do always pay, no matter if a service provider pays toll as sender or not.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.90,0:05:18.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Therefore, our data traffic might get limited and we have pay for more data traffic subscriptions.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.30,0:05:20.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what does this mean?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.64,0:05:24.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Non-commercial services and community projects, like Wikipedia for example,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.96,0:05:31.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,could not afford this caste toll and would have limited availability, or not be available at all.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.86,0:05:39.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Direct communication with friends and acquaintances could be filtered or blocked as a rival to established models of service and commerce.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.46,0:05:49.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Once such a control and filter infrastructure is introduced and established, filtering and discarding of unwelcome data like competitive offers or services can be done easily.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.68,0:05:56.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Filtering opinions, information or political viewpoints is just a small change in the system settings.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:56.52,0:05:59.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What if we let infringement of net neutrality happen?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:59.26,0:06:03.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Such a process is very difficult to reverse, if it's possible at all.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.62,0:06:08.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We would lose the richness of the internet, the variety of options through which we shape the net.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.88,0:06:14.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We would lose much content because providers cannot afford the toll of the telecommunication enterprise any more.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:15.00,0:06:21.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We would lose the free competition and by this the release of new services of smaller companies or community projects.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:21.82,0:06:25.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The free access to content and information that we currently enjoy would be gone.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:26.30,0:06:30.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There would be a two, three or four class model of the internet,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.12,0:06:36.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or even not just one internet but many, and different content would be available in different nets.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:36.72,0:06:46.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Think of it like a set of TV channels from a pay-tv provider, where in addition to basic programmes, there are premium programmes that are charged differently depending on the channel.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:46.74,0:06:51.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You could only access whatever the providers offer and expect to be profitable.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:51.68,0:06:56.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The network operators’ regime would severely limit today’s freedom of information on the internet.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:56.80,0:06:59.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And for this loss, we would have to pay more.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:59.68,0:07:05.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,However, our providers say they would never do such a thing; it is just something like a rise in price!
Dialogue: 0,0:07:05.84,0:07:13.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But of course, the telecommunication providers have been proven to lie right to our faces regarding the legality of arguments to break net neutrality.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:13.74,0:07:20.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example, the claim of non-available capacity, or that countries with laws for net neutrality would have a slower internet connection.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:21.10,0:07:27.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If they already lying at this point, why would they tell the truth by promising to build a faster net with the additional money
Dialogue: 0,0:07:27.70,0:07:33.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,while claiming they will not sift through our data, even though they need it in order to make the caste system work?
Dialogue: 0,0:07:34.40,0:07:39.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How can they possibly keep the richness and the competition with such a system?
Dialogue: 0,0:07:40.46,0:07:42.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Therefore: Protest with us!
Dialogue: 0,0:07:43.08,0:07:48.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Request statutory regulations for net neutrality in your country and in the EU!
Dialogue: 0,0:07:48.66,0:07:50.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Demand equal treatment of data!
Dialogue: 0,0:07:51.22,0:07:56.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Reject preferential treatment of premium data in exchange for a worse treatment of your personal data!
Dialogue: 0,0:07:57.40,0:08:00.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Stand up against network locks and an artificial deceleration!
Dialogue: 0,0:08:01.00,0:08:06.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Fight for a free and open communication network, in which we together as community benefit from!
Dialogue: 0,0:08:06.94,0:08:09.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Demand non-manipulated data traffic!
Dialogue: 0,0:08:09.58,0:08:14.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Reject the discrimination or prioritizing of data, no matter what the reason!
Dialogue: 0,0:08:14.06,0:08:18.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Nobody has the right to be the snooping in our traffic. Nothing justifies it.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:18.32,0:08:22.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We are all entitled to net neutrality even in mobile networks!
Dialogue: 0,0:08:22.36,0:08:24.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Real net, now and in future!
