The giant telephone and cable companies are trying to take
control of the Internet away from the public.
Only you can
stop them.
The phone and cable companies want to change the one thing that has made the Internet the single biggest platform for innovation in a century – the freedom of anyone to go anywhere, at anytime, on the Net.
That freedom is called “Net Neutrality” — and if the telephone and cable companies have their way, that freedom will soon be a thing of the past.
Imagine an Internet where your cable or phone company:
- Blocks or slows access to sites—from news sites to your online bank—that haven’t paid a kickback for “preferential access”
- Slows down your music and video downloads because they don’t approve of the content
- Prohibits you from using an Internet telephone
- Charges you every time someone looks at your blog or business site
Don’t believe this could happen? It already has.
Last year, the cable and phone industries convinced the Federal Government to eliminate longstanding consumer safeguards for high-speed broadband Internet services.
Now, they’re asking Congress to expand their power to control where you can go on the Internet. And some in Congress are caving in to the telephone and cable industries’ power grab.
The only way to stop them is if every Internet user speaks up — and demands that Congress protect the freedom of the Internet by preserving Net Neutrality.
Congress is considering the cable and telephone companies’ power grab right now.
