Why hasn't this been a topic here for months and months?
The guys whose email I reproduce below always have their hands out for five bucks for the cause, but it's a damn good cause.
The simplest metaphor I've heard for a world without net neutrality is to think of telephone service. Imagine it would cost you more money to phone some people than to phone others. Of course, the low cost calls with be xfinity, Comcast and Fios customer service, while calls to friends and families will be expensive calls. Other calls would further be biased toward whoever can influence the governing body (the FCC) to slant the charges.
Here's what they sent out most recently:
Verizon-lawyer-turned-FCC-chairman Ajit Pai just released the final text of his plan to kill net neutrality, and it’s just as terrible as we thought it would be. [1]
Enough is enough. It’s time to protest and expose this corruption. Congress can still stop the FCC, but they’ll only act if there’s a massive public outcry right now.
Internet users are planning protests at Verizon stores across the country on December 7 to demand that Congress stop the FCC. Will you join us?
