In the United States, it is Verizon that puts his foot in it. His lawsuit against the U.S. telecoms regulator (FCC) has just begun in the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, reports Les Echos . Verizon requires the ability to manage traffic on its network as it sees fit, blocking or slowing some sites depending on the amount of data flowing at a time T. This practice is contrary to the principle of net neutrality, is not allowed in the United States at present.

But this kind of practice is double-edged and demands a clear framework. Otherwise nothing would prevent the most powerful financial actors, telcos pay to see their traffic prioritized on their networks, which increase the tendency to monopoly internet.
