## The Legal Foundations of Net Neutrality in Georgia

Net neutrality stands for equal, non-discriminatory treatment of users and service providers within electronic communications networks. Georgian legislation contains no dedicated net-neutrality norm: the Law of Georgia on Electronic Communications does not directly regulate traffic management. Article 4 of that law establishes the nearest analogous principles, requiring maximum openness, objectivity, non-discrimination, transparency and technological neutrality when the Commission adopts regulatory decisions. Technological neutrality in that provision concerns the regulator’s even-handed treatment of technologies in the rules it sets, not a direct guarantee of network neutrality for users and service providers. Questions touching on network neutrality are therefore assessed through the general principles this law establishes.

### What does technological neutrality mean for the Commission's decisions?

Article 4 requires the Commission to adopt regulatory decisions with maximum openness, objectivity, non-discrimination, transparency and technological neutrality, so no technology receives artificial advantages.

### Does non-discriminatory treatment extend to end users?

Yes. Article 20 lists among the Commission's tasks the inadmissibility of discrimination against end users when services are supplied and the prohibition of subsidising particular types of services.

### What must a powerful operator publish?

Article 31 requires the public publication of financial reporting, the technical characteristics of the network, the conditions and tariffs of access and interconnection, and a detailed call offer.

### What happens if an operator offers someone better conditions?

Under Article 32, the operator must introduce the corresponding amendment into its call offer within 30 days of concluding the contract, so that other market participants can rely on the improved terms.
