<h2>Current state and glance into the future</h2>
<p>The Federal Ministry of Economy (BMWi) reworked its former bill to unambiguously free cable and DSL internet users from compulsory routers. We evaluated the draft as positive in large part because it can finally end the discrimination of internet users' choice of terminal devices. Only smaller wordings could be formulated more precisely to preemptively close possible legal loopholes.</p>
<p>The bill has been presented to the EU commission and the member states for comments until beginning of July. According to our information only one small formal ambiguity has been criticised furing this process. The BMWi currently fixes this and will introduce it to the Federal Cabinet. Afterwards the parlamentary process is planned to start in fall 2015. We hope that ministers and representatives will withstand the pressure of enemies of free and fair terminal device choice, and defend and restore the rights of internet users.</p>
