Net Neutrality = Freedom
I am a proud American and defender of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Therefore I support net neutrality.
What does that mean?
It means I do not want any business, big or small, to control the speed at which I receive information. It is downright rotten of the big telecos to start wanting to make more money from the American people by charging us for faster bandwidth. I don't think so.
Since I am a Webmaster and teach making Websites, I felt it was time I made a page to support Net Neutrality. Here it is. Below are some links and a resources for understanding this issue and helping to keep your Internet - your information and voice - free from charge.
Explanation of Net Neutrality: The Oatmeal has an excellent explanation about Net Neutrality: Dear Senator Ted Cruz. So does John Oliver - see video below.
