peer agreement (net): +1forced router selection Explanation: The term "forced router selection" is OK but I am sure there is a more elegant one. Looking at the text, I'm not sure that you need a specific term like this. Sentence translation: Some internet providers force their customers, directly or indirectly, to use their preselected router. |

peer agreement (net): +2[so-called] router coercion Explanation: If this source is to be taken as an authority: German govt publishes draft law to ban router coercion Thursday 26 February 2015 The German federal ministry for economics BMWi has published a draft for the Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Act banning so-called router coercion. The change in the law will give customers a free choice of broadband modem/router instead of the current practice where they can only purchase or lease and use ones offered by the ISP. In addition, the access to public telecommunication networks will be defined as a passive network termination point, to stop providers from defining it in their own router. http://www.telecompaper.com/news/german-govt-publishes-draft... http://technews.technology/news/german-govt-publishes-draft-... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2015-03-12 14:31:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ramey thinks this sounds like it has been made up by a German. Nonetheless, I think that [so-called] lends sufficient linguistic distance to what is after all a live issue in German politics and legislation. The alternative would be a cumbersome workaround. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2015-03-12 18:50:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Re comments on mandatory elsewhere on this page: Mandatory would imply that it was the government deciding on which routers were to be used by which consumers. The very opposite applies, namely that the government now wishes to free up the market and give consumers greater choice. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2015-03-17 16:09:23 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- So was your query about Routerzwang or Zwangsrouter? |
