The Internet is the Voice of the People: Save Net Neutrality
A BUZZFLASH GUEST CONTRIBUTION
by Linda Milazzo

Senator John Kerry has joined the effort to save Net Neutrality by delivering a letter to FCC Chairman Kevin Martin:

"Nearly 60% of the country does not subscribe to broadband service -- in large measure because it is either unavailable or unaffordable... For years, we have heard that a third technology would emerge to compete head-to-head with DSL and cable modem. It has not yet materialized, and today Americans pay as much as 10 times more than broadband consumers in Asia and Europe. Worse still, competition has been insufficient to drive the innovation that brings faster speeds, next generation application and a richer, diverse and multifaceted Internet."

(In case, you haven't been following the serious concern at hand, read this: http://www.savetheinternet.com/blog/2007/06/04/a-quarter-million-americans-flood-the-fcc-with-comments/)

There is no time to waste. We must ACT NOW if we want to protect Net Neutrality. Tell your story to the FCC about why Net Neutrality must be saved. We must act by June 15!! Go to SavetheInternet.com and make your voice heard.

4. Kerry has been at the forefront of this - surprised the reporter is just catching on
to his efforts. I think this issue is a key reason why the corporate newsmedia has not let up on attacking Kerry the last 5 years - the same way they will not let up on Gore.
