<\/strong> BRUSSELS: Europe's highest court on Tuesday gave its backing to the European Union's net neutrality<\/a> rules which require telecoms operators to treat all Internet traffic equally, dealing a blow to the telecoms industry which wants a less restrictive regime.

Adopted in 2015, the rules, which have got strong backing from large tech companies and consumer groups, prevent telecoms operators from blocking or slowing down traffic, or offering paid fast lanes.

Telecoms operators have been pushing for less stringent rules to allow them to increase revenues from specialised services such as connectivity for driverless cars and Internet-connected devices to offset declining turnover from their traditional telephony business.

The Luxembourg-based Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in its first ruling on the subject backed the principle of an open internet.

\"The requirements to protect
internet users<\/a>' rights and to treat traffic in a non-discriminatory manner preclude an internet access provider from favouring certain applications and services by means of packages enabling those applications and services to benefit from a 'zero tariff' and making the use of the other applications and services subject to measures blocking or slowing down traffic,\" judges said.

The European court's judgment came after a Hungarian court had sought guidance in a case involving Hungarian mobile telecoms operator
Telenor<\/a> Magyarorszag. The Hungarian company offered its customers preferential or so-called zero-tariff access packages, which meant that the use of certain applications did not count towards consumption.

Hungary's National Media and Infocommunications Authority in two decisions in 2017 said the company violated EU network neutrality rules and ordered it to scrap the offers.

Telenor Magyarorszag, which is part of Czech investment group PPF, had challenged the rulings in a Hungarian court. The company said the EU court judgment would not affect its business as it had already complied with the Hungarian regulatory decisions.

\"This means that Telenor does not differentiate between the speed of online music streaming services and messaging services from any other type of data traffic in the plans in question (MyChat and MyMusic),\" the company said in a statement.

The case attracted attention in Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Finland, Romania, Slovenia and the Czech Republic, which submitted comments to the EU court.

Three years ago, the United States repealed its landmark net neutrality rules, giving internet providers sweeping powers to recast how Americans use the internet, as long as they disclose changes.

The European court cases are C-807\/18 Telenor Magyarorszag & C-39\/19 Telenor Magyarorszag.

布鲁塞尔:欧洲最高法院周二给欧盟的支持网络中立规则要求电信运营商对所有互联网流量一视同仁,打击了电信行业希望限制较少的政权。

采用2015年的规则,有强大的支持从大型科技公司和消费者团体,防止电信运营商阻止或减缓交通,或提供快速通道。

电信运营商已经要求不太严格的规则允许他们增加收入等专业化服务为无人驾驶汽车和网络设备连接,以抵消从他们的传统电话业务营业额下降。

卢森堡的欧盟法院(CJEU)首次执政的支持互联网开放的原则。

“保护需求互联网用户权益和治疗交通以非歧视的方式阻止互联网接入提供商支持特定的应用程序和服务通过包使这些应用程序和服务受益于“零关税”,并使用其他应用程序和服务措施阻止或减缓交通,”法官说。

欧洲法院的判决之前,一位匈牙利法院寻求指导的案件涉及匈牙利移动电信运营商Telenor匈牙利。匈牙利公司提供客户优惠或所谓的“零关税”访问包,这意味着使用的某些应用程序没有计入消费。

匈牙利国家媒体和Infocommunications权威的两项决定在2017年表示,该公司违反了欧盟网络中立规则和命令取消报价。

Telenor匈牙利,捷克投资集团PPF的一部分,挑战了在匈牙利法院裁决。该公司表示,欧盟法院判决不会影响其业务,因为它已经符合匈牙利监管决策。

“这意味着Telenor并不区分在线音乐流媒体服务的速度和信息服务的任何其他类型的数据流量计划问题(MyChat,而myspace),”该公司在一份声明中说。
