Based on Traficom’s findings, the status of net neutrality in Finland has remained healthy, as in previous years, and internet access service providers (ISPs, operators) comply with the Regulation. Like in previous years, all issues that were raised have mainly been resolved or progress has been made in negotiations with operators and other stakeholders.
Topical matters have included first and foremost the rulings of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the autumn of 2021 and the resulting changes to the BEREC Guidelines on the Implementation of the Open Internet Regulation. The updates to the Guidelines were published after the actual monitoring period on 15 June 2022. Traficom has also provided guidance on the EU sanctions concerning the broadcasting and distribution of content by Russian media outlets and on the national Digirail project.
Some of Traficom’s activities were related to measures initiated in previous years. These concerned, for example, the effect of the coronavirus pandemic on communications networks and the provision of public IPv4 addresses.
