U.K. ISP Adopts Three Strikes Policy

U.K. ISP Adopts Three Strikes Policy

Hull, on the east coast of England, is a little different. It’s the only city in the country that doesn’t use British Telecom, instead having its own, unique telecoms system, and that includes its own ISP, Karoo.

However, Karoo has been somewhat ruthless with illegal file sharers, cutting them off without warning. Now it’s scaling back to adopt a three-strikes-and-you’re-out policy, although even that is more severe than other British ISPs. But as the only game in town, consumers in Hull can’t choose a different ISP.

EU ISPs Start Storing Data For A Year

EU ISPs Start Storing Data For A Year

The content itself isn’t kept, but merely a record of the connection.

It’s a contentious move, joining another already in force throughout the EU that says phone records must be kept for a similar period, and it’s being fought not only by some ISPs, but also by some countries.
