If you are a U.S. Citizen, it is time to call your Representatives and Senators. They're trying to gut Net Neutrality, a crucial component of the internet's success and its freedom. Net Neutrality guarantees that all online speech is treated equally and prevents Internet providers like AT&T from deciding which websites work best on your computer. Without it, these companies can decide what you see and do online. In other words, without Net Neutrality AT&T could conceivably decide to limit the bandwidth for iTunes because Microsoft pays them to increase the bandwidth for MSN Music.

When I called my resprsentatives to ask them to support neutrality, I put it terms that maybe they'd understand.

I asked them (or rather the staff person i spoke to) to imagine if how they'd feel if telecom companies blocked access to THEIR sites because the companies were not pleased with the representatives.
