Tell the FCC: Restore Net Neutrality

January 18, 2014 by Daniel Menefee

Share

An appeals court just dealt the latest blow to the open Internet. The court struck down the Federal Communications Commission’s Open Internet Order because of the questionable legal framework the agency used when it adopted its Net Neutrality rules in 2010.

This ruling means there is no one who can protect us from ISPs that block or discriminate against websites, applications or services.

But there’s hope: FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler can correct the agency’s past mistakes and truly protect our nation’s communications infrastructure. The agency must take the necessary steps to make broadband networks open, accessible, reliable and affordable for everyone.

Tell the FCC to start treating broadband like a communications service, and to restore its Net Neutrality rules.

Go here to send the FCC a message.

    Editor,

    Setting aside the fact that the FCC doesn’t have legal standing to regulate the Internet, I’m going to have to go ahead and disagree with this editorial.Internet networks are built with private risk capital, and it is theft of property to tell the companies which own them whether they can or can’t attempt to profit from them.If you don’t like how Comcast or Verizon runs their network, then take your business elsewhere. Everyone has choices, whether it’s mobile wireless or even satellite. This is a fast, innovating marketplace. Use your choices.
