The paper explores the relationship between modern communication technologies and constitutional freedoms. In particular, it takes a closer look at a range of Internet and freedom of expression‐related issues. The aim of the paper is to discuss - in light of recent international case law - how access to network services is increasingly perceived as being worthy of elevation to status of right. In this context the paper tries to clarify if technology could be considered just an enabler of rights or a right itself.
