<h1>FSFE signs association joint letter for terminal device freedom</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p newsteaser="yes">Together with 9 other civil and economic
|
||||
organisations the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) sent a letter
|
||||
to numerous members of the German Bundestag concerning the compulsory
|
||||
routers issue at the present Wednesday. The letter is supposed to
|
||||
highlight the importance of passing the bill for freedom of terminal
|
||||
devices in telecommunication.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>On the 4th of November the four parliament committees Economy and
|
||||
Energy, Law and Consumer Protection, Traffic and Digital
|
||||
Infrastructure, and Digital Agenda will consult about the bill „for
|
||||
selection and connection of telecommunication terminal devices“. The
|
||||
132 representatives who sit in the committees will bear a special
|
||||
responsibility since it is in their power to save the rights of
|
||||
consumers and protect small and medium-sized businesses.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>„We welcome the Federal Government drafting a bill which can
|
||||
effectively eradicate compulsory routers“, says Matthias Kirschner,
|
||||
FSFE's President. „The current status of compulsory routers is harmful
|
||||
for both citizens and economy. This fact has to be known to all
|
||||
representatives cross-party. Now we need a quick and unmodified
|
||||
implementation of the drafted law.“</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The bill is the outcome of a long discussion about so-called
|
||||
compulsory routers. These forbid internet users to use a terminal
|
||||
device of their choice and force them to always have the provider's
|
||||
device in the own home network. This widespread practise is a threat to
|
||||
security, privacy, and independence of all internet users and has
|
||||
negative effects on free and fair competition of manufacturers.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Despite the unanimous opinion of experts, consumer protectors, and
|
||||
politicians some members of the Federal Council aligned with the few
|
||||
current bill's opponents. In doing so they adapted technically
|
||||
inconsistent and long-disproved arguments of internet providers and
|
||||
network carriers. Up to now the Federal Government rejected the
|
||||
Council's criticism as not reasonable.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>„Today's letter shall prevent a repetition of the Council's
|
||||
disappointing reaction. With a broad alliance of many-faceted
|
||||
supporters of terminal device freedom we ask the committees' members to
|
||||
put those basic user rights as soon as possible and without any rotten
|
||||
compromises into law“, says Max Mehl, FSFE's Germany Coordinator. „As
|
||||
of today no representative can plead lack of knowledge of the
|
||||
importance of terminal device freedom for the independent usage and
|
||||
security of the internet.“</p>
