European operators have issued a manifesto to the European Commission, stating that they will bring 5G to Europe only if the new net neutrality rules are watered down, reports The Financial Times<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The rules prevent unfair blocking and connection-speed throttling, and the paid prioritisation of Web traffic.<\/p>\n

Over 17 operators including BT, Deutsche Telekom, Telecom Italia, and Vodafone presented the manifesto, stating that they would bring 5G to every European country by 2020.<\/p>\n

Operators are still allowed to provide so-called ‘specialised services’ like Internet TV and critical communications, provided it does not degrade the performance of the public Internet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe telecom industry warns that the current Net Neutrality guidelines create significant uncertainties around 5G return on investment,\u201d reads the manifesto.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvestments are therefore likely to be delayed unless regulators take a positive stance on innovation and stick to it.\u201d<\/p>\n
