Angela Merkel is, as you already know very well, the chancellor who has been leading Germany for almost a decade, and yesterday she gave a speech in which she showed her support for the creation of fast access lines for Internet. The idea of creating "highways" for the Internet appeared a few years ago and many American politicians lost political "capital" by supporting it, so now things are moving to Europe, the support offered by Merkel being surprising for many.
Angela Merkel supports separation internet access for normal users and for services that need priority and fast connections to perform certain functions for users. In this idea, the Internet will remain on one side exactly as it is now, but a fast access line, or "highway", should be created separately from it, which will provide high-speed connections to allow the development of telemedical services, navigation systems for self-driving cars and many others.
Angela Merkel supports the creation of a fast internet access line
Angela Merkel claims that the world cannot evolve without the creation of fast Internet access lines with high-speed connections, but those who support Internet neutrality have a completely different opinion. The separation of the internet would require users to pay an additional fee to be able to view movies or TV series on demand, the companies that provide such services have been lobbying for years to receive priority access to high-speed connections and sufficient bandwidth.
Although at the moment the European Union supports the neutrality of the Internet and avoiding its division into fast access lines combined with the current configuration, large companies invest millions of dollars in the lobby to obtain "privileged space" on the Internet. Unfortunately, Chancellor Angela Merkel's position makes us understand that without sustained opposition from users, the Internet will be shared in the future and unfortunately we will have to pay serious sums of money to benefit from fast Internet access, as we have now .
What do you think about the creation of "highways" for the Internet?
