The importance of net neutrality

When I tried to use Tor anonymizer, I found it didn't work. Then, I checked some links related to Tor and received a message that my server, Comcast, refused to permit me access.

Reclassify Internet Service Providers As Common Carriers

8,840 Submissions so far

On January 14, 2014, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit struck down the FCC's Open Internet rules on a technicality, that internet service providers were not classified as common carriers by the FCC. This threatens the whole future of net neutrality, and would allow big telecom companies to discriminate in how they carry internet traffic.

But all the FCC simply needs to do is correct this classification oversight, entirely within their own administrative power, and reclassify internet service providers as common carriers, which all common sense says that they are.

More than 100,000 people signed a petition on the White House website asking President Obama to take action. But while expressing his support the president declined to intercede with the FCC himself.

So it's all up to us. Please submit this form to send your comments supporting net neutrality directly to the FCC. For this one there is no "petition" other than words "Reclassify Internet Service Providers As Common Carriera". And by adding just a couple words of your own, if you would, this will prove that every submission came from a real person.
