Save the Internet!

Big communications companies are attempting to change how the Internet works at a fundamental level. What is being proposed is a multi-tiered Internet where those can afford to pay what amounts to extortion fees to telcos get preferential treatment of bandwidth (Internet traffic) and those who don't pay get whatever is left over.

The Internet is a place where anybody can create something and has an equal footing with huge corporations. It's a way for everybody to have a chance to be heard and a great method of communicating.

Network Neutrality is what the Internet currently enjoys now. Nobody gets any preferred treatment over anybody else. This needs to be maintained so that everybody has equal chance to succeed with whatever it is they want to do on the Internet.

It's a topic that's causing a lot of stir on BOTH sides of politics. When both Democrats and Republicans are making strong efforts to prevent something, chances are that it's because they're fighting against something most would consider "unconstitutional".

Back up the efforts to stop big telcos from controlling the Internet!
