Overview
Everyone has a favorite internet site. Maybe it’s a local events site,
or a blog, or a small online magazine. Whatever the content, Web use should be easy and unhindered, and Web sites put up by individuals, nonprofits and small groups should be as accessible as those maintained by big corporations.
Now,
however, the largest telephone and cable companies are trying to limit
our Internet access by deciding who and what gets priority. Their plan
is to force Web site operators to pay a premium for faster service even
though it costs providers nothing to give everyone equal access.
Senators
still have the opportunity to preserve what’s called Internet
neutrality. MASSPIRG has joined a diverse coalition of concerned
organizations in urging the Senate to keep our Internet free and open.
Every American has the right to enjoy all the benefits that the Internet has to offer. MASSPIRG is working to make sure that right is
protected.
