Net Neutrality is intended to be a force for good when it comes to our digital infrastructure, but we need to consider whether it is actually delivering the positive impact it claims.

Strand Consult, an independent consultancy focussing on the telecoms industry for over 25 years, has published a new report which finds that the UK's net neutrality regulations are harming consumers, innovators, and investors. Further, it highlights that those countries which do not have strict net neutrality rules have demonstrated consistent improvement in consumer welfare, broadband investment, broadband speed, 5G innovation, and consumer value, suggesting that the UK is being held back by unnecessary regulations surrounding net neutrality.
