Urgent Action to Preserve Net Neutrality!

The Internet has thrived because of the level playing field it creates for sharing a rich diversity of opinions, viewpoints and ideas.  Allowing paid prioritization would amplify the voices that can afford to pay and fundamentally cripple the most significant and disruptive engine of human progress the world has ever seen.

The fact that Net Neutrality is under significant threat is a symptom of a deeper problem - massive consolidation of the broadband access marketplace.  Most consumers today typically have a choice between one or two large corporate providers. Monopolization in a market demands a tougher regulatory approach. Reclassifying broadband internet as a telecommunications service provides a necessary check on the unequal playing field of the broadband access market.
