M2 PRESSWIRE-June 16, 2011-: Entanet supports UNHRC claims that DEA breaches rights(C)1994-2011 M2 COMMUNICATIONS

RDATE:16062011

In its latest opinion article (http://opinion.enta.net), Entanet, the pioneering wholesale communications provider, supports recent claims by the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) that the DEA could in fact breach Civil and Political Rights because of its disproportionate measures to disconnect users from the Internet.

The article quotes Frank La Rue, the UNHRCs Special Rapporteur who stated: The Special Rapporteur is deeply concerned by discussions regarding a centralized on/off control over Internet traffic. In addition, he is alarmed by proposals to disconnect users from Internet access if they violate intellectual property rights, considering this to be disproportionate and thus a violation of article 19, paragraph 3, of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

Entanet, which has been critical of and opposed to the DEA since its initial conception, agrees with the UNHRC. In the opinion article Entanets Head of Marketing, Darren Farnden, states: At the risk of repeating ourselves once again, the DEA is fundamentally flawed and is in desperate need of review. Additionally the speculated EU IPRS call for cooperation from ISPs also needs careful consideration. If the government and the EU continue to ignore the industry most affected and knowledgeable on this subject then they are undoubtedly heading for a disaster. Maybe the UN can bring them to their senses, but we wont hold our breath. We fear the DEA is an indestructible nemesis.
