PS. Some examples of good ideas:

- Transforming libraries in hackerspaces (this is one of the best ideas i ever came accross)

- Removing roaming (expensive cell phone calls in foreign countries, but in Europe, we are all different countries. 9000 € for checking your mail and etc... was not an exception). Some people who regulary stay in foreign countries (work, business, long vacation, .. get a mobile subscription in that country, so they would have 2 phone numbers). But this should be fixed in 2016 (still a long time though)

- PRO net neutrality (some years ago, currently she changed her opinion for an unknown reason : http://ec.europa.eu/commission_2010-2014/kroes/en/blog/netne... )

On the whole, I think she does good work. I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt that she genuinely thought the text as proposed would sufficiently protect net neutrality or at least underestimated the holes it left. But even if she didn't, it is good to see that parliament did its job and corrected the mistakes made by the legislators.

She's the only Eurocommissioner that I constantly see fighting for all sorts of good causes. The others barely register or seem to be a net negative. I like Kroes a lot, but every once in a while, she suddenly supports something that seems quite the opposite of her usual position. Weirdly out of character. And I often find myself wondering if maybe there's something else at play in the background.

That's exactly the same thing as i thought...

And the opposite of net neutrality is a really big deal. She had contacts with telecom though for roaming, perhaps she had to change position in favor of net neutrality in return of dropping roaming costs in Europe?

(just thinking out loud)
