Pretty much: Thierry Breton. A political hack with a pressing need to feel relevant in the crisis and nothing useful to do. The daily briefing at ec.europa.eu was edited after Netflix caved, but yesterday it was evident from it that the person responsible had no clue about how any of it works, was deeply confused by the difference between "the Internet" and mobile networks. Part of the text freaking urged people to "use Wi-Fi" to relieve Internet congestion. Because as everybody knows, Wi-Fi uses magic and bypasses the Internet. So we got our 25% reduction in Netflix quality on broadband connections because some moron was told by telcos that mobile networks are strained. While the actually competent people at IXes all over EU are saying there's nothing to worry about, they know how to do their job. EU in a nutshell for you.
