A new bill to offer Internet providers and telecommunications operators content providers for the use of networks, tariff agreed as a fair share. The text argues that the obligation to enter into conflict with the principles of the Marco Civil of the Internet.
PL 469/24 is under the authority of federal deputy David Soares (União-SP). The argument that the fair share goes against the principle of network neutrality, declared by Marco Civil. Secondly, it is the principle that proves that the processing in question corresponds to any type of data traffic, without difference according to content, origin, destination or volume. Cobrar to more certain companies, therefore, will implement this principle.
The project follows the communication, constitution and justice and city commissions (CCJ). It will be analyzed conclusively — if necessary, approved by these committees, directly in the Senate, without specifying the vote of the House.

The idea that big tech doesn't contribute to the grid is also discussed, and she found it investments in structures such as underwater cabos e content distribution networks.
The National Telecommunications Agency gives you one hipotes for this issue, concrete measures should be taken until 2025, after more discussions with those involved.
In the meantime, Brazilian operators are taking other measures to try to combat the use of rede pelas gigantes. He's there deixando de offerere o chamado note zero, nome dado in French unlimited for certain applications, generally messages or social networks.
