Net Neutrality – The Internet Bill of Rights
GritTV: After the court ruling in Comcast v. FCC, it seems that FCC Chairman Genachowski might cave in to the demands of the big telecom companies and allow them to continue to have free rein over your Internet access. To discuss the situation, and what we can do about it, we speak to Tim Karr of Free Press and Amalia Deloney of the Center for Media Justice.
Will the FCC Chairman Protect the Internet?
An appeals court ruled in April that the FCC lacked authority to ensure an open, affordable, and accessible Internet because of a decision it made during the Bush-era to classify broadband as a title I service instead of a title II service- with dire consequences for people of color and the poor. The Obama FCC can now fix this bad history by simply reclasifying broadband. According to the Washington Post, however, Genachowski intends to do nothing. Contact FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski at 202-418-1000 or julius.genachowski@fcc.gov, and Commissioner Mignon Clyburn at 202-418-2100 or mignon.clyburn@fcc.gov, and urge them to reclassify broadband as a Title II service. Check out MAG-Net’s grassroots policy brief to learn more about “Reclassification” and why it matters to communities at the margins.
