Router Freedom is the right of customers of any Internet Service
Provider (ISP) to choose and use a private modem and router instead
of a router that the ISP forces them to use. BEREC, the European
regulators, drafted guidelines for national agencies how to deal with
of a router that the ISP forces them to use. The Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) drafted guidelines for national agencies how to deal with
Router Freedom in their countries. The Free Software Foundation
Europe (FSFE) provided mixed feedback to an ongoing public
consulation.
