Save the Open Internet

Don't allow telecommunication companies to dictate the future of the internet.

Why is this important?

I've been using the internet since 1994, and have always appreciated how versatile and robust it is precisely because of how it was designed to be open and accessible in equal measures to everyone. My occupation for the last few years is directly linked to the Internet, given that I monitor and administer wifi Internet networks for several low-income housing developments. As a result, it is especially important to me as well as to the residents with whom I work that the Internet continue to be fairly maintained without "pay-to-play" schemes and undue influence from telecommunications companies.
