"Netzbrake": Complaint against Deutsche Telekom's peering practice

A complaint was lodged with the Federal Network Agency by the German Consumer Association and its allies. They earn money on the slow Internet, according to the accusation.

Epicenter.works, Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte (GFF), Konsumerzentrale Bundesverband (vzbv) and Stanford professor Barbara van Schewick have filed a complaint with the Federal Network Agency against Deutsche Telekom.
