Save the internet thingy, what your opinion
-
i saw this on a couple other forums, what your opinions on this.
Our internet that we love so much is being threatened by companies like AT&T who want to provide their own internet to us. They want us to only see the sites they want us to see, they want websites we go to to PAY them for us to see the site.
Please continue to read on, we all need to ban together to keep our internet open so that those companies can NOT choose for us, based on their greed, what sites we see. Please, I urge you, e-mail, phone, pass on, this to your State's governmental officials that you want your internet to stay open, and not run by ISP(Internet Service Provider) companies. They give us the power to be on the internet, but now they want to regulate what we can view. Some would say they have the right to because they are giving us access to it, but some would also say, the beauty of the internet is being able to go and do what we want on it, not being bound because 1 company says no. Think of what this would do to online businesses. Their prices(for their goods) would have to be raised so they could pay the companies to be seen on their customers computers. Don't let this happen!

"Congress is pushing a law that would abandon the Internet's First Amendment -- a principle called Network Neutrality that prevents companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast from deciding which Web sites work best for you -- based on what site pays them the most. If the public doesn't speak up now, our elected officials will cave to a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign."

Lets see, if AT&T or Qwest or AOL or anyone actually started doing something like this, there would be a mass exodus of people dropping them as their ISP. WAY to risky of a business move if you ask me. So I agree with others opinions on here, won't happen.
