Hi all,
I though this might be of interest as, some days ago, there was some discussion on
Facebook’s zero rating plans on this list.
All the best

Assunto: ARCEP includes the Zero Rating Map in its State of the Internet report
Dear all, (apologies for cross-posting)
As you might know, ARCEP (the French Telecoms Regulator) has just released its "State
of the Internet" report.
I am particularly pleased to let you know that the "Net Neutrality" part of the
report features a section dedicated to the Zero Rating Map, whose beta version was
launched at the IGF 2017 and that now includes information on Zero Rating and Net
Neutrality regulations in 90 countries. See
http://zerorating.info/
It is, to my knowledge, the first time a national regulator includes a section on an IGF
outcome in an official report. Besides being concrete evidence that the IGF is not a mere
talking shop, this episode demonstrates not only that the IGF can produce concrete
outcomes but also that those outcomes can be of concrete use for researchers, regulators
and other stakeholders alike. Furthermore, I think it is a very positive sign that the
Telecoms regulator of the IGF host country shows such interest for IGF outcomes.
The French version of the report is here
https://www.arcep.fr/uploads/tx_gspublication/rapport-etat-internet-2018_co…
The English version is here
https://www.arcep.fr/uploads/tx_gspublication/report-state-internet-2018_co…
The section dedicated to Zero Rating and the Minitelisation of the Internet (that I had
the honour to author) is at page 69.
Further readings on the subject (all in open access) are indicated in the footnotes.
FYI, all IGF outcomes elaborated by the DCNN over the past years are also freely available
here

All the best
