Network neutrality

Christopher T. Marsden is Professor of Internet Law at the University of Sussex

‘This volume represents a truly comprehensive analysis of network neutrality up until June 2016. The meticulous research and referencing means that the text is a complete description at that date and provides the perfect foundation for additional work.The writing style of the author is readily accessible and exceptionally readable. This is important for a text to have an audience beyond academia. In particular, the description in Chapter 4 of the way in which the European Union, in its various forms, created ‘a messy compromise’ law was fascinating. This chapter provides a fabulous case study in European Union regulatory decision making.’Telecoms Policy Review‘Network neutrality, also known as net neutrality, is a hot-button topic that is never far from the headlines.’Janet Kearney, Law Library Journal, 2018
