Thread Name: BS: A blow to Internet neutrality-update-good news
Subject: RE: BS: A blow to Internet neutrality
You can do something, today, by writing a public comment to the FCC at This Place. Today is the last day to comment!
Tell the FCC your own story about Net Neutrality. Go here now to submit it — the comment period ends Thursday.
The agency is deciding whether to reassert its authority to protect broadband access from phone and cable companies, which want to be able to block access to online information and prioritize their own content and services over their competitors'.
AT&T, Comcast and Verizon have spent more than $50 million in 2010 on lawyers and lobbyists to undermine the FCC's ability to protect Internet users like us.
We need to tell the FCC to "reclassify" broadband and protect the open Internet for good. Our online future rests on the FCC putting the public interest before phone and cable company profits.
Please take a few minutes and use this easy tool to tell the FCC — in your own words — why the Internet is important to you, and why we need Net Neutrality now.
Thanks,
Carl Schwensohn Free Press Activist Minneapolis, MN
