On the recordDecember 11, 2017
In 3 days, the internet as we know it could change forever. On December 14, the FCC will be taking a vote on whether or not to get rid of net neutrality protections that keep the internet open, fair, and equal for everyone. Repealing these protections will allow internet service providers like Verizon, Comcast, and AT&T to control the levers of the internet--stifling access, deciding which websites you and I can visit and use, and making it virtually impossible for small businesses to compete against industry giants. It will hurt our students, entrepreneurs, working families, and all who rely on the internet for things from education to healthcare to employment as a level playing field of opportunity. The FCC must protect the people it is supposed to be serving, not big corporate interests, and make sure that the internet remains a place where everyone has a seat at the table. ____________________
