Net Neutrality

What is Net Neutrality? That is what I said when I started to search this current topic regarding the “neutrality” of the content on the net. Since the start of the World Wide Web we have enjoyed the neutrality principle and now the broadband carriers want Congress to pass a bill that would give them the power to control what we see and read on the internet. As I understand it they would have the power to control what content reaches us first and the fastest.

Right now the debate has reached the attention of the full Senate where bills will be proposed on the topic. If you would like to join in the effort to “save the internet” click here and send a letter to your members of Congress to stop Internet blocking and censorship. Don’t let Comcast, Verizon and AT&T tell us what to do and where we can go on the internet!
