This paper talks about the Connected Continent legislative package presented by the European Commission in September 2013, particularly a rule it proposes on the 'open Internet'. The author argues that while this rule is, in principle, balanced and appealing, it is impractical due to the uncertainty that its application would entail. He also says that rather than bringing about internet freedom, it would transform the Web into a place requiring constant micro-management. Consequently, he suggests the EU should reform this law and provides some recommendations for how this could be done.
