<p>Now, the same debate reaches the European level, with Internet Service Providers (ISP) wanting to impose direct access to their modems and routers even after its selling to end costumers. The problematic steppingstone for the implementation of Router Freedom in Europe relates to legal and technical aspects around the "Network Termination Point" (NTP) - a definition of where the ISP's infrastructure ends and the user's begins. If the NTP would be defined as behind the router, the user might not have the right to use their own equipment because it belongs to the ISP and would be covered by contract. This position subjugates users to contract restrictions that would effectively undermine their freedom to choose and use their own routers. To counteract this freedom limitation and <strong>to protect users' control of technology, the FSFE has started monitoring the status of router freedom in several countries and has been preparing an <a href="https://wiki.fsfe.org/Activities/CompulsoryRouters/">"activity package"</a></strong> for people and organisations willing to advocate for router freedom. The package compiles information about how to raise awareness among people, ideas how to build alliances with organisations, the (counter-)arguments to be used in the discussions, as well how to demand controlling and supervision from the National Regulatory Agencies (NRA).</p>

<p>One of the FSFE's goals is to help individuals and organisations to understand how Free Software contributes to freedom, transparency, and self-determination. To this end we reach out to the public by participating in events. Since our last annual report <strong>we participated in over 60 events in 11 European countries</strong> (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Serbia, Spain, Switzerland, The Netherlands), many of which we gave public presentations and talks, most prominently about "Public Money? Public Code!", Sustainability of (Free) Software, Security with Free Software and Free Your Android. With the help of our local volunteers, we have even been able to also set up an information-booth in more than 20 of these events.</p>
