Tell the FCC: Don't let large corporations write their own rules
Edited on Tue Sep-28-10 10:44 AM by Jeffersons Ghost
Net neutrality is one of the bedrock principles of the Internet. It means that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) must treat all websites equally. They cannot make it easier load some websites, and more difficult to load others. It's what ensures that your ISP can't privilege the website of Fox News over Daily Kos or Democratic Underground.

But net neutrality is not the law of the land, so ISPs can abandon it at any time. In fact, Google and Verizon have proposed that net neutrality be abandoned for the mobile web. And they have proposed other violations of net neutrality that would end the Internet as we know it. We cannot allow this to happen.

Nothing good is likely to make its way through Congress anytime soon, so we must urge Julius Genachowski, the Chair of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), to take action.

I just told Chairman Genachowski act immediately and not allow corporations to write their own rules. I hope you will too.
