Abstract
This paper contains a dual presentation of the net neutrality service model as developed through several years of public discourse about regulatory approaches to net neutrality. Particularly in Europe, this model which is used to differentiate between Internet traffic considered in scope of net neutrality and specialised services exempted from net neutrality assessment, has gained prominence trough the political process aiming at a “Connected Continent”.

The Model Framework on Net Neutrality has been developed subsequent to the Council of Europe organising its Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue on Network Neutrality and Human Rights, in May 2013. See Council of Europe Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue on Network Neutrality and Human Rights Strasbourg, Outcome Paper prepared by Luca Belli. The framework has been established by the IGF Dynamic Coalition on Net neutrality, and the launch itself was made at the Internet Governance Forum in October 2013.
