Net Neutrality and Telecoms

The Telecom giants just do not understand the powerful influence that bloggers have. And, the Telecom giants have become comfortable with violating the law by limiting access to the Internet. The Telecom giants have an arrogance about them that makes one wonder if they really understand the fundamental basis of free speech.

For bloggers, any limitation on free speech would be disastrous. So, it is time for bloggers to rise up and make Net Neutrality a presidential campaign issue this year. The following is a blog from Save The Internet.

Cable giant Comcast has become the poster child for Net Neutrality — with actions to block user traffic that make a clear-cut case for Internet protections. Today, SavetheInternet.com members and legal scholars took this case to the Federal Communications Commission. We filed an official action urging the agency to stop the cable giant from meddling with your ability to connect and share information.

The company recently gave us a glimpse of a world without Net Neutrality. In the “most drastic example yet of data discrimination,” the Associated Press exposed that Comcast was actively interfering with its users’ ability to access legal content and share it with one another. Despite mounting evidence that Comcast is crippling peer-to-peer communication, the company’s spokespeople have thumbed their noses at the public and the press — refusing to admit that the blocking of connections is underhanded or in any way threatens the free flow of information that’s become the hallmark of an open Internet.
