>>
>> 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!
