Orange Apple Supports Net Neutrality

The following was posted by the CEO of Google. It reflects our sentiments as well.

The Internet as we know it is facing a serious threat. There’s a debate heating up in Washington, DC on something called “net neutrality” – and it’s a debate that’s so important Google is asking you to get involved. We’re asking you to take action to protect Internet freedom.

In the next few days, the House of Representatives is going to vote on a bill that would fundamentally alter the Internet. That bill, and one that may come up for a key vote in the Senate in the next few weeks, would give the big phone and cable companies the power to pick and choose what you will be able to see and do on the Internet.

Today the Internet is an information highway where anybody – no matter how large or small, how traditional or unconventional – has equal access. But the phone and cable monopolies, who control almost all Internet access, want the power to choose who gets access to high-speed lanes and whose content gets seen first and fastest. They want to build a two-tiered system and block the on-ramps for those who can’t pay.

Creativity, innovation and a free and open marketplace are all at stake in this fight. Please call your representative (202-224-3121) and let your voice be heard.

Thanks for your time, your concern and your support.

Not sure what to say?

When you call, let them know you’d like to talk with your state senators office. Give your zip code and simply read this:

I believe in net neutrality — the principle that Internet users should be able to access any web content they want, post their own content, and use any applications they choose, without restrictions or limitations imposed by their Internet service providers.

 
It’s really that simple. 30 seconds of your time.

And if you’re still wondering what the big deal is…

What if your ISP (ATT, Comcast, Time Warner, Charter, Rogers, etc) stopped you from reading this? In the future, this could actually be censored by your Internet provider if action isn’t taken.

Just take a quick look at what your cable or Internet options could be.
