LSE lecturer Prof Martin Cave praised the Government. “Ed Vaizey should be congratulated for adopting a sensible approach to net neutrality and getting ISPs to agree to a voluntary code with transparency,” he said. "Consumers and the UK economy are benefiting from competition, investment and innovation owing to the deployment of broadband networks because the internet has been largely free from burdensome and expensive government regulations. ISPs need to be able to prioritise data to provide the level of service demanded by customers for these essential functions.”
