Saw this video over on YouTube and thought it was a good reminder to keep an eye on how things are going with Net Neutrality. It’s also not too bad an intro if this is an unfamiliar topic:

In essence, if Net Neutrality is not passed, companies can charge in more ways for access to content on the internet. If you have a website this could have a major negative impact on your business.

The companies trying to destroy Net Neutrality say that they are their “pipes” and so they should be able to charge what they want. The thing is, they’re already getting paid for use. You pay for your access from home and website owners pay for bandwidth on their end. No one is getting something for nothing.

It’s Our Net is a good resource for keeping up on this very important topic. As votes come up I encourage you to contact your Senator or Congressperson as appropriate and share your opinion. This is not something you want them to only hear from the big corporations on. They need to know how much this matters to the average person too.
