The Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) has announcednew initiatives in the area of net neutrality. First, the entity has taken a decision to develop a net neutrality opt-in measurement tool, to be used by national regulatory authorities (NRAs) and end-users to measure the quality of fixed or mobile Internet access services and detect potential illegal traffic management practices such as blocking or throttling of specific applications. A tender for the development of the tool is expected to be launched in early 2018, and specifications are available. BEREC has also adopted a 'Net neutrality regulatory assessment methodology', aimed to assist NRAs in monitoring and supervising the implementation of the new neutrality provisions outlined in EU's Open Internet Regulation adopted in 2015.
