Tell the FCC How You Feel About Net Neutrality   

I did. You can use my letter as an example. Adding a sigil at the might not be a bad idea. 🙂

FCC,

I am writing as a concerned citizen concerning the proposed rules for what is commonly referred to as “net neutrality.”

As a producer of internet content who is unable to pay for “fast lane” privilege, I am discouraged by the rules being proposed. Internet service providers have historically been resistant to upgrading their networks, as is attested by our slow data transmission speeds compared to other nations. A pay-for speed scenario will only encourage providers to spend less on infrastructure and innovation, providing faster service only for those few who are able to pay.

I doubt I could explain any more eloquently than the thousands of other Americans who have commented on this issue, who deeply we feel that the proposed policy will harm free speech, innovation, and competition. The fact that there are thousands upon thousands of Americans opposed, as compared to a fraction of that number in favor of these new rules must mean something if we are to claim any belief in democracy.

It is my belief, like so many others, that broadband must be reclassified as a Type II Common Carrier, and subject to FCC regulations to prevent any one person or institution from having more favorable use.

Sincerely,

James L. Wilber
