Definitely. In the EU, the Open Internet Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2015/2120) addresses these topics. ISPs are prohibited from blocking or slowing down of internet traffic, except with some specific exceptions.

This is interesting for I would think they are subject to local regulations from the countries where the root servers are physically placed.

It is interesting that this liberalization has taken different forms in different parts of the world. In Europe it is interesting that it lead to a fractionalization of the market (i.e. looking at the number of mobile phone operators in Europe vs. the number of phone operators in the U.S.).

I would think so, since it affects internet infrastructure, cybersecurity (which includes multiple aspects) and has an impact in the markets (manufacturers, operators...).

For those of us covering ITU this is one of the most consistent fights we are involved in. A multistakeholder approach vs. this centralized approach.

Certainly. A good example of silos being developed and mapping becomes necessary.

More than governed we could maybe say operates.
