Save the internet?!

I’ve heard it in the past, but never really payed much attention to it. I’m talking about Network Neutality.

Basically, it boils down to the large cable/phone providers (SBC, Comcast, Verizon) that want to control how WE USE THE INTERNET! They’re lobbying congress with millions of dollars so they can pick and choose which sites we can visit and how much bandwidth we get to have!

If for instance, Verizon creates an alternative to Google, they can block Google on their end for every single subscriber and basically force you to use their service. What kind of shit is that?!

I urge you to please, contact your congress-persons. Call, write, blog!
