The 🇧🇪 Belgian telecom regulator #BIPT formally introduced #RouterFreedom! 📶

The decision encompasses all network types including fiber (FTTx) and the decision sets a deadline of 12 months for becoming compliant.

The FSFE acknowledges this decision as a major win for consumer rights, and will monitor further implementation.

Isn’t it a paradox when our public institutions, working for the well being of the population, use closed and proprietary software to provide their services? 🤔

💡 We believe that public bodies funded by public money should use public code! 🔓

Happy #AdaLovelaceDay! Today we celebrate the contributions of women to #STEM!

The main character of the book "Ada & Zangemann" is named after this 19th century mathematician & computer pioneer who wrote the first computer algorithm in 1843! 💻

How are you celebrating this day? We had a lovely book reading in a school in Berlin.💚
