[kictanet] Overhauled NetNeutrality Website

[Mose Karanja]

The Global Net Neutrality Coalition has overhauled its website
<https://www.thisisnetneutrality.org/#join>.



Key takeaways:

1.     A generally agreed upon definition of Net Neutrality in 17 languages;

2.     An interactive map that shows the status of Net Neutrality around
the globe;

3.     A model policy framework developed by the Dynamic Coalition on
Network Neutrality <http://www.networkneutrality.info/> for crafting
legislation and regulations;

4.     Resources for global advocates fighting for a free and open Internet.





The FCC in the US recently created the Open Internet Rule, the EU (28
countries) is almost there with the Digital Single Market and individual
countries are busy debating this major issue on the future of Internet. I
know some countries in Africa are busy on this too. However, despite there
being a host of African partners in the thisisnetneutrality network
(including KICTANet), none but two African countries have been featured
citing ‘Research Pending’. This also happens with other indices like the
Freedom House’s Internet Freedom Index and Amnesty’s. This is one area
research institutions in Africa can fill up.



Use the website <https://www.thisisnetneutrality.org/#join> and its
resources to push for an open Internet!
