SFP#32: Policy and EU: Router Freedom in the EU

Have you ever used your personal router to connect to the internet? Recently we achieved a major win in Germany for Router Freedom. In this 32nd episode of the Software Freedom Podcast, Bonnie Mehring, Alexander Sander, and Lucas Lasota talk about Router Freedom and our work to protect freedom of choice regarding internet devices.

Router Freedom, one of the FSFE's longest running initiatives, ensures the right to use any device to connect to the internet. Lately this freedom was threatened by the largest telecom provider in Germany - however the Bundesnetzargentur ruled in favour of Router Freedom, Germany's telecom regulator, and thereby safeguarded freedom of choice in Germany.

Listen to our 32nd episode and find out what Router Freedom is, how it connects back in history to the 50s, and how long the FSFE and other digital societies have been defending your digital rights. Together with Bonnie, Alex and Lucas you can find out more about the status quo and how you can help to protect Router Freedom.

This is the perfect episode for everybody who wants to support Router Freedom and ensuring the right to choose your own router!
