Opening and welcome
Session I: Traffic prioritisation and the network traffic discussion
What is Network Neutrality and what are the historic principles of the Internet changing? What is the development in traffic, and what are the technical possibilities for traffic prioritizing? What opportunities does traffic prioritising provide and how will it affect competition, innovation and business online?
Session II: Conditions for innovation online in the future
How does an entrepreneur look upon the conditions for innovation online? What are the basic principles for innovation online today and in the future? What role does Network Neutrality play in an innovation perspective?
Session III: Economic aspects and new business models
Network Neutrality taken from a market perspective. What role will vertical integration play? How will businesses create new revenue streams in the future? Could new business models be a reason for prioritising traffic and thereby diverging from Network Neutrality? Does an increase in traffic create a need for traffic prioritizing due to future possible bottlenecks in networks - both fixed and wireless? What role will the users play?
Session IV: Network Neutrality in a regulatory perspective
Where is Europe heading policy-wise when it comes to the future principles of Network Neutrality? How do regulators balance between fostering innovation online on the one hand and securing consumer protection and transparency on the other? Is it up to the market forces or do we need regulation?
Session V: Transparency and opportunities in a consumer-perspective
What role do the consumers play? In what way does traffic prioritising benefit consumers? How could transparency be created in regard to traffic prioritisation in a complex setting like the Internet? What rights if any do the consumers have when it comes to Network Neutrality?
