Many markets have not enacted Net Neutrality regulation and there is freedom to offer specialised services (i.e. access optimised for specific service
characteristics) within the rules proposed in the United States of America and the European Union. Net Neutrality will remain a key public policy topic as
consumers increasingly access IP-based services; but it does not preclude innovation in new services and commercial propositions.
