 happy to be here with you today, because I would like to talk a little bit about a very important topic that concerns not just specialists, but all of us, because everybody think we use internet at home and we have our router to provide our Wi-Fi at home, so I think it concerns all of us. This is a campaign that FreeSoft, that FreeSoft Foundation Europe has been conducting for a long time, and I've been involved with that since the beginning of this year, and I think that is very important, well, for a number of reasons. As Matias already said, I'm, Lukas Lasott, I'm part of the legal team, if you have some questions you feel free to write me or talk to me here, as I said I like to talk to people, so yeah. So our presentation will be why router free does it important, first we needed to know what is router freedom, and the panorama, the legal and political panorama in Europe, and how to make a stand for router freedom, okay, so we recognize the problem, but we need to do something against it. So yeah, let's see why router freedoms is very important for each one of us. Yes, router freedom basically is the right that each one of us have to choose our own equipment. So if you want to buy and to use our equipment that has free software inside of it, we have this right, and the problem is that some internet service providers in Europe, they don't comply with this right, they put into the market their own routers with some, sometimes with proprietary software inside of it, and they don't allow the customers by contract to use another device, another equipment. So our idea, our stand is to enforce the right of people to choose their own equipment, and the grounds and the reasons for that are pretty convincing. I put just four here, but there are more, this is the most important. So the first one is the freedom of choice. This is the basic thing that everyone has to choose their own equipment. However, think about that. The router, although usually it's very hidden inside your house, and nobody takes a lot of attention to this small piece of equipment, but it's extremely important because all our data, internet data, backups, our business interaction go through the router. So if our router is not with our free software, our digital sovereignty, as Alex mentioned before, it's not secure. So the router has a very important role, having the control over our router has a very important role to keep our digital sovereignty. So the third argument is free competitions and compatibility. This is not in the individual level, but this is a social level, so this is a little bit higher. So having a lot of router providers, router manufacturers. This is good for the price, for the marketing interaction. So this is also very important. And of course, compatibility. So you have the right to choose your own equipment. You can use the equipment that best suits you. And of course, this helps also with even the environment arguments and so on. The security issues is very clear because when you know what is inside your router, you know how to better implement the security measures in order to protect your information and your data. I would like to tell you today that router freedom, it's not an abstract idea for the future. It's in fact a right that has been protected by European regulations since 2015. In Germany, FSCP had a very nice job. I wasn't there, but I knew and I've been working with the results of this effort in order to implement the European regulations in Germany. Since 2015, the National Reality Directive already established in the article number three that everybody has the right to choose the equipment of their choice. However, these general regulations must be internalized in the countries. And sometimes there are some problems and there are some interpretations about that. In 2018, there is a new regulation saying that all the definitions that the countries are implemented on their internal market must comply with the National Reality Directive. And they said that the national regulatory agencies must define some positions in order to comply with that. This 2018 regulation established that BEREC, the Board of Electronic Regulators in Europe, should issue some guidelines in order to establish all the parameters that the national regulatory agencies should adopt in order to comply with the National Reality Directive. However, although it looks very nice, there are some problems. And as Mattia said in the beginning of our meeting today, some internet service providers are raising some discussions in order to not comply, but in order to do something different in the interpretation of these European regulations. So what is happening today in Europe? Today there is a discussion about the network termination point. What is the termination network point? Is the discussion that the router is part of the public communication network or part of your own private network or the end user network. If the router is part of the public network, so it's a piece of property from the ISP. So therefore we have no right to choose our one router. If the router is part of our private network, so we have the right to choose it. So therefore it is very important that the national authorities consider that router is part of the private network because in that case we have the right to choose our own equipment. And what is happening today? So there is a lot of discussion going on saying that router is part of the public communication network, right? And this discussion arrived, achieved the European level and the BEREC is now proposing a public consultation in order to establish the guidelines to where to determine the network termination point. Of course there is very objective arguments that say that having the router in our private network is better because it complies to all those arguments that we heard a little bit earlier. It's better for security, it's better for privacy and in the end it's our right to choose our own equipment. Well in Germany we did a very nice job in the internalization of these rules. So since 2016 there is a law saying that in Germany ISP must allow the users to use their routers. It means in Germany a router is part of our private network, private communication network. Well but FSFE work is about community and of course we are very interested in other countries too. And we have conducted some internal research in order to say, to see what is the panorama, what is the legal and the political state of the art in Europe to see users and consumers in other countries, they have the right to choose their own equipment and what is going on? However, and we need your help, we need the help of the community to refine the data that we collected. And how we did that? Well it's very important for us that we receive the feedback from the community but also to hear that you are also participating in order to defend this very important right to choose in your own equipment. So we have prepared a wiki where we condensate argument procedures in order to talk to the national regulatory agencies in order to raise this topic among your national communities and your national authorities. Please if you have the time check our website, this is the link and of course we have the results of this research that we conducted and feel free to talk to us and say look, in my country the situation is not like this, we have the right or in fact we don't have the right, so how we can do that? So in the wiki there's a lot of material and it's based in our experience in Germany so what I can say that it works and we can made a stand for router freedom. So this is my short presentation about this very important talk and I'm very glad if we can talk later about it. Thank you very much.
