The diagnostic performance of digital

On September 22, Senator Hervé Maurey filed a bill "relating to the diagnosis of digital performance" that could render a great service to future owners and tenants of properties. Today, when about to acquire property real estate, there is a diagnostic technique that includes prior information about the electrical installations, gas installations, asbestos, termites, and natural hazards. But the Internet is not yet part of the long list of information that the prospective owner or tenant can access.

Bill

The draft "diagnostic performance digital" aims to establish a regulation requiring property owners to inform their buyers or tenants of the level of digital performance prior to installation in the home, and will complement the diagnostic technique. Note that the original owners were only concerned with this bill, and tenants were also added to the project. Specifically, "the diagnostic performance of digital is a document that assesses the quality and speed of access to public online communication and e-mail. " The report says: "The purchaser or lessee of property is now entitled to expect a number of diagnoses related to asbestos, termites, natural and technological hazards, the quality of the electrical or gas to the building's energy performance, etc.. This information is a record of diagnostic technique, which is provided by the seller and annexed to the agreement of sale or deed of sale in case of sale. At a time when information technology and communications are becoming ever more essential in the daily lives of our citizens, both for their work for their safety or quality of life, purchasers or tenants n have not, to date, reliable information on connecting their homes to Internet networks. "

The law is twofold

The future tenant or owner will not have to canvass all the ISPs to get an idea of rates and services for housing. Indeed, the bill notes: "Following the acquisition or lease of real property, its new occupants may well discover that they have no real access to electronic communications networks, thus depriving them of services associated with the connection between social networks to telecommuting. " It is therefore simply whether we will have 512 kbps of 20 Mbps or 100 Mbps in the slot, without having to move to the right or surprises. Section 1 of the proposal aims to complete the record by adding diagnostic technique diagnostic performance of digital. Moreover, this diagnosis has a second advantage: working to reduce the digital divide. The section of the Act states: "Furthermore, it is proposed that the diagnostic performance of digital to be sent to the Regulatory Authority for Electronic Communications and Posts (ARCEP) for statistical studies and evaluation. While strengthening consumer rights, this legislation would allow innovation and to better take stock of the existing digital divide in our country and to consider the most appropriate solutions to address them. " Since September 22, this bill at first reading in the Senate. If passed, life moved in the future could be much easier! Follow the steps in the discussion .
