Two Million Strong for Net Neutrality, A Petition To Save The Internet

The savetheinternet.com coalition is more than a million everyday people who have banded together with thousands of non-profit organizations, businesses and bloggers to protect Internet freedom.

The fight for Net Neutrality has reached a crucial moment. The FCC chairman has just called for new Net Neutrality rules, backed by President Obama, Speaker Pelosi and several congressional leaders. Now we need to complete the final lap -- signing Net Neutrality into law -- with a powerful, public show of support.

More than 1.6 million people have already called for Congress and the FCC to support Net Neutrality. If we can reach 2 million people, we'll send a resounding message that Washington won’t be able to ignore.

Comment by Christopher on November 2, 2009 at 10:03am: Fast Internet access becomes a legal right in Finland.
October 15, 2009

(CNN) -- Finland has become the first country in the world to declare broadband Internet access a legal right.

The one-megabit mandate, however, is simply an intermediary step, said Laura Vilkkonen, the legislative counselor for the Ministry of Transport and Communications.
The country is aiming for speeds that are 100 times faster -- 100 megabit per second -- for all by 2015.
"We think it's something you cannot live without in modern society. Like banking services or water or electricity, you need Internet connection," Vilkkonen said.

Why Canadian ISPs may be forced to throttle back your Internet traffic.
October 27, 2009

Has your Internet connection been downloading things more slowly than you'd expect? There could be multiple reasons for that - a misconfigured access point, an inappropriate service plan - but it could also be that your internet service provider is putting the squeeze on your traffic. And here's the worrying part: depending on which ISP you use, it may have no choice. (Hmmmm)

We, the undersigned, believe that the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), has become a burden on the Canadian public and are failing to perform their duties in the interest of the Canadian public and that of a fair and unbiased telecom policy.

We hereby request that the CRTC be dissolved and a new commission formed immediately to ensure that the regulatory process and competitive environment remain in tune with the needs of the Canadian public.
