i think this is important

listening to: Drop Dead, Gorgeous - It's Pretty Hard To Beat The King

Firstly, watch this video. It's a little bit old now, but no less helpful in informing you about the issue.



since this video, the people have helped win an important decision by the FCC against these big media companies. comcast is trying to overturn the decision though. people need to let their elected leaders and representatives that this is important to them.

also, comcast is trying to put a monthly cap on internet service. they announced that on October 1 they'll impose a 250gb a month cap on home internet. the statement i read only said that if somebody went over the limit, comcast would contact the person and ask them to limit their usage. and i'm sure next will come charging them for going over their limit. 250g isn't a small amount. at least not now. the more widespread that video gets on the internet, the smaller 250g seems. what about downloading videos online from services like netflix? what about youtube videos or watching episodes of tv programming from the network's website like nbc? allowing this to happen now only sets us up for a bigger fall later on. and then comcast can happily charge more money for a higher cap, like it charges more money for more cable programming.

through all of this i always hear the cry for verizon's FiOS to save us. i hope they or something like them steps in. until then, WE need to step up and make this issue known and make it known that we care about. the people at savetheinternet.com are on the game, but they need people like us to tell others and our senators/representatives where we stand. use the site, sign up for email updates. save the internetz. pleez. :)
