Net Neutrality

Net Neutrality is a hot political and economic topic these days. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s all about and why you should care, here’s A Guide to the Open Internet—a single-serving site with a short primer on the issue.

From the site:

Network neutrality is the idea that your cellular, cable, or phone internet connection should treat all websites and services the same. Big companies like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast want to treat them differently so they can charge you more depending on what you use.

Why is Net Neutrality Important?

  1. A free and open internet is the single greatest technology of our culture, and control should not be at the mercy of corporations.
  2. A free and open internet stimulates competition.
  3. A free and open internet helps prevent unfair pricing practices.
  4. A free and open internet promotes innovation.
  5. A free and open internet is more trustworthy and honest.
  6. A free and open internet drives businesses.
  7. A free and open internet protects the freedom of speech.
