a few days, a survey was sent to select VPN providers by the European Commission. The survey included questions about the services provided and the geographic locations served by each company. The survey also asked for information on user base in order to determine the number of users of EU Member States in relation to the outside of them. He concluded with questions relating to why customers use the service, how often, and the amount of media traffic (steaming video, audio and audiovisual content).
"W e suspect that [survey] is bound to try to ban the geo-restricted content within and between EU countries," said Sunday Yokubaitis President of Golden Frog, "but we suspect content heavy opposition if we are right."
Matt Schruers CCIA also weighed on the question :. "I think Sunday's hypothesis is correct," he said
"under" digital Single Market initiative of the European Commission, European policymakers have criticized the content geo-blocking line as incompatible with the ideal of a "single market" unit for intra-European trade in the EU. geographic restrictions may also result in Europeans turning to piracy, because it is difficult to find legitimate services licensed in their jurisdiction. These problems may explain the basis of the questionnaire, "he said. "But if the policy will be implemented on the basis of the answers is a separate issue."
Starting today, Golden Frog not received the questionnaire of the European Commission. This is probably because we are incorporated in Switzerland, which is not part of the EU. We will certainly keep an eye on how the issue of geo-blocking plays.
