SAVE THE INTERNET
SAVE LOCAL ACCESS CABLE TV |
| Large media and phone companies are threatening the freedom of the Internet. Local access cable TV is also in jeaopardy. |
| From www.freepress.net: |
| Congress is about to sell out the Internet by letting big phone and cable companies set up toll booths along the information superhighway. |
| Companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast are spending tens of millions in Washington to kill "network neutrality" -- a principle that keeps the Internet open to all. |
| A bill moving quickly through Congress would let these companies become Internet gatekeepers, deciding which Web sites go fast or slow -- and which won't load at all -- based on who pays them more. The rest of us will be detoured to the "slow lane," clicking furiously and waiting for our favorite sites to download. |
| Don't let Congress ruin the Internet. |

| Also at risk is community access cable TV. Progressive programs such as Media Edge, Chew on This and Democracy Now might not have a venue is changed. |
