    There's a very strong move afoot (particularly in the European Parliament) to decide that internet access is a human right deriving from Article 11 of the Charter:
    Article 11. Freedom of expression and information

    1. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers.
    2. The freedom and pluralism of the media shall be respected.

    However, the governments may yet squash that in Council.

    cordially,
