Abstract

This lacklustre performance belies a history of significant internet entrepreneurs who pioneered UK ecommerce (Archives IT, [3]) and UK internet engineers whose fundamental contributions help make the internet that we know today (Kirstein, [12]). NN regulation is frequently proffered as a notion that all internet data is equal and, as such, flat-rate broadband packages based on internet speed are the most fair and equitable way to offer broadband to consumers, presumably to maximise the data from all possible points of the internet. HOW NN REGULATION HARMED INNOVATORS The largest US internet companies were founded well before NN regulation was framed and had already globalised by the time rules were imposed in 2015.
