Based on Traficom’s findings, the status of net neutrality in Finland is healthy, and internet access service providers (ISPs, operators) comply with the Regulation. For a more detailed description of Traficom’s actions and observations, please refer to chapters 3 and 4. Traficom has maintained an active dialogue on net neutrality with the industry. An indication of successful collaboration is that Traficom did not have to issue any binding supervision decisions during the monitoring period. Like in previous years, all issues that were raised have mainly been resolved or progress has been made in negotiations with operators.
Topical matters have included first and foremost informing stakeholders of the updated BEREC Guidelines on the Implementation of the Open Internet Regulation published in June 2020 and changes to national guidelines, assisting in the drafting of a written intervention concerning a request for a preliminary ruling on the interpretation of Article 3 of the Open Internet Regulation brought before the Court of Justice of the European Union, participating in the work to update the standard terms and conditions used in the telecommunications sector and updating Traficom’s Recommendation on filtering traffic to certain communications ports.
Some of Traficom’s activities were related to measures initiated in previous years. These concerned, for example, the following themes: the effect of the coronavirus pandemic on communications networks, 5G, the provision of public IPv4 addresses and monitoring the entry into the market of new FWA subscriptions.
