Say no to “fast lanes”

Al Franken

When it comes to your daily commute, a “fast lane” is a good thing.

But when it comes to the Internet, allowing big telecom companies to set up “fast lanes” for content providers willing to pay for special access is nothing short of a disaster.

This could be one of the greatest threats net neutrality has ever faced. And I need your help to stop it. If the FCC goes through with these new rules permitting “fast lanes,” it could get harder for you to find your favorite content online, or it could even make it more expensive, as the costs content providers incur to get into these “fast lanes” are passed along to consumers.

The FCC has previously said that net neutrality means big telecom companies don’t get to decide what kind of content wins online. And now they’re breaking faith with that commitment, threatening to disrupt net neutrality and change the Internet forever.

We can’t let that happen. The last thing we should be doing is handing more power to big corporations like Comcast. It’s time for us to step up and save the Internet.
