Need to provide a shortened title for reference "stb-2012-231".Amcconachie (talk) 21:50, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I'm not happy with the translation. Do you know a better word for "a collection of various amendments on various topics passed as a single act"? --Jethrogb (talk) 21:58, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The following sentence doesn't make sense. Do you mean to say he advocates for stricter regulation that would promote market transparency and competition? " He promotes transparency and competition in favor of strict regulation."Amcconachie (talk) 21:50, 5 March 2014 (UTC) Here as well, do you mean to say he "advocates for consumer choice", instead of "promotes consumer choice" "Neelie Kroes, a Dutch politician and the current European Commissioner for Digital Agenda, also promotes consumer choice:"Amcconachie (talk) 21:50, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

These have been fixed by other editors --Jethrogb (talk) 21:58, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You linked to Rectification (law), but that's incorrect. The rectification here is really just another amendment.--Jethrogb (talk) 22:27, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguations

The link to Integrity (disambiguation) was intentional. The law does not specify further which integrity is to be preserved. Best left up to the reader to interpret the meaning of integrity here. (In particular, I don't think data integrity is meant by the lawmaker.) --Jethrogb (talk) 23:21, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently no page explaining the correct meaning of executive order as used here. It should be a translation of nl:Algemene Maatregel van Bestuur (Nederland). --Jethrogb (talk) 23:21, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism and Impact

This section seems to be missing the core of net neutrality issues. By citing "consumer choice" it tries to create a certainly false image that consumers would have a choice given no net neutrality. Given that a very limited number of ISPs control cable, dsl, and wirless (as in LTE) none of them would offer a free internet not hindered by "taxes" for as many actions as possible. Instead they would would implicitly "agree" to create new ways to increase their income. This means that they would possibly charge for example Steam or netlfix for "free" access to their customers, which in turn would increase steam/neflix prices for customers.
