(Telecompaper) French telecom regulator Arcep has closed an IP transit investigation following a complaint by consumer association UFC-Que Choisir that access to Google's YouTube website had degraded for subscribers of ISP Free. The administrative inquiry aimed to clarify the technical and financial conditions for data traffic between Free and Google. Arcep confirmed that interconnection capacity of Free data log-jams at peak times, in a context of rising usage, a phenomenon being experienced by all ISPs. Nevertheless, the authority found no discriminatory behaviour in interconnection and IP data transit between the two companies, and therefore no violation of net neutrality.
