Save Net Neutrality!

Now is the time! I’ve written about this before, but the decisions are looming in Congress today or tomorrow. Call your congressperson and advocate for net neutrality. If you need background info, here’s a nice interview with Joan Blades, and here’s Lessig’s link to the issue, which includes a handy video done by Tim Berners-Lee.

As Tim Berners-Lee points out, net neutrality means:

"If I pay to connect to the Net with a certain quality of service, and you pay to connect with that or greater quality of service, then we can communicate at that level."

It's a simple rule, it's foundational to all that's creative and innovative about the net, and it's under assault.
