The Greek regulator has adopted new rules introducing Router Freedom in the country. Since 2021, the FSFE has been working with policymakers to protect the interests of end-users. Supporting civil society and industry organisations backed the FSFE and contributed positively to this new law.
Routers and modems are gateways to the Internet. As with any other digital devices, consumers should be able to choose such an important piece of equipment. In order to make this right happen, telecommunications law in the EU has been passing through complex legislative reforms since 2018. The process has been slow and marked by nuances. Not all EU countries have taken Router Freedom as a priority. Greece, on the other hand, has been working on the issue for several years and is now among the European countries regulating how end-users can use their own routers and modems to connect to the Internet.
