Oldest trick in the book, attach a position to an ideological word that
people cant disagree with. Who can disagree with "freedom".

 

Little does the public know they are supporting a position that could reduce
freedom and possibly even destroy their freedom of choice, as they signon to
positition that will reduce speeds, increase costs, reduce investment, and
destroy small competitive providers. 

 

Freedom really means no regulation, so providers can have the freedom to
build networks without unnecessary beurocracy and burdens.

Freedom to allow people to build businesses based without strings attached.

 

Ironically, Google is one of the largest advocates of NEtNEutrality but yet
one of the largeset threats to freedom. NetNEutrality is best purposed to
stop abuse of power by those with market power. I'd argue Google has
majority market power beyond that of any single access provider. Google has
more eyeballs and and steers Internet traffic more than any other entity. 

 

What would happen if we made a "Save the Small Provider, the real Open
Internet" or "Vote Content Neutrality not NetNeutrality for an Open
Internet" would it get a top indexing on search engines? Or would the "Save
the INternet" Pro NetNEutrality get the top Indexing? 

 

Google has the power allow consumers to see the point of view of content
providers, but to prevent their access to view Access provider's point of
view.

On a critical vote week like this week, Google has power to censor what
consumers can find and have access to.  What preventing Google from doing
that right now, and compromising our Free country?   

 

What makes content providers a better steward of Freedom than Access
providers?

While normally an ally of WISPA, in this case Free Press is taking a

use.

 

Once you have customized the letter, please make a .pdf copy or a .doc file

Free Press Floods FCC With Net Neutrality Petitions


Group wants Commission to toughen up chairman's proposed compromise order


By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 12/13/2010 11:45:52 AM


Free Press is killing some trees to try and "save" the Internet.

Free Press says that
<http://www.broadcastingcable.com/common/jumplink.php?target=http%3A%2F%2Fac
t2.freepress.net%2Fsign%2Freal_net_neutrality%2F%3Fsource%3Dposterous>
SavetheInternet.com volunteers will be hand-delivering 2 million petitions
to the FCC, with volunteers making the trek every hour on the hour until
sometime Tuesday.

Free Press wants the FCC to toughen up the chairman's proposed compromise
order expanding and codifying its network openness rules. The order does not
rely on reclassifying broadband access under some common carrier regs (Title
II), allows for specialized services, and does not apply most of them to
wireless broadband.

The FCC is planning to vote on the order Dec. 21, which is still subject to
edits and emendations as the commissioners vet the draft.

Free Press calls the chairmen's proposal a "toothless" effort that "give[s]
just about everything to giant phone and cable companies, and leave[s]
Internet users with almost nothing."

That two million are not all in response to the compromise FCC proposal, but
represent the names on a number of different petitions on net neutrality
cirucluated over the past couple of years, according to Free Press' Craig
Aaron.

Copies of the different petitions are being attached to the appropriate list
of names, approximately 50,000 per boxful, which are being delivered hourly
to the commission through Tuesday.
