Europe gave internet service providers the right to throttle online traffic to prevent congestion as network demand spikes amid coronavirus stay-at-home and quarantine orders. More details:
European government and regulatory bodies have authorized the European Union's telecom operators and internet service providers to apply exceptional measures, including the throttling of online speeds, to prevent network congestion amid increased demand as millions of Europeans are forced to stay home and use online collaboration and teleworking tools amid the coronavirus.
The move comes after Thierry Breton, the European Commissioner for internal markets, contacted Netflix CEO Reed Hastings to ask the streaming giant to reduce the data load on European networks by switching off Netflix's high-definition option for its film and series content., as did Google-owned YouTube. Both companies have agreed to stream videos only in the less network-intensive standard definition format for a month.
