Summary

This enforcement programme is examining ISPs’ traffic management practices to see if they are compliant with the EU Open Internet Access and Roaming Regulations. Under this programme we will gather information and assess whether any ISP traffic management practices raise compliance issues, to determine whether any further action, including enforcement, is required. We may also consider any compliance concerns in relation to other ISP practices covered by the Regulations under this programme.
