Here's a translated page: http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&h...

In short, the provider is going to block services like WhatsApp, Skype and video services like YouTube. If you still want those services, you'll have to pay extra. This is next to the bandwidth limit which they already have in place.

The OPTA (Dutch FCC) is happy with this trend, because it would give the consumer more choice.
