  From Red Hat EMEA we met Timo Jokiaho, Principal Technologist for Telco (right, above), and Nik Stankau, Business Development Director for Telco (left).

  The new law, House Bill 2282, will come into effect on June 6 and makes Washington the first state to defy Pai and the FCC in maintaining open internet freedoms. Over the next couple of weeks and months it would not be unusual to expect several other states to follow suit, though whether this law is able to legally stand remains to be seen.
