The Federal Communications Commission has been attempting to enforce net neutrality safeguards that would keep big telecoms from inspecting and filtering the Internet content you access, blocking websites and applications they don't like, and overcharging you for using the Internet. But a recent court decision prevents the FCC from regulating net neutrality in the way it tried.
The FCC now faces an important decision. Will it stand up for consumers and reclassify broadband Internet providers to ensure the Internet stays free?
The FCC has asked for public comment on their net neutrality plans. Join in submitting a comment in support of the FCC doing everything it can to protect a free and open Internet. Just click the link below to submit your comment.

No insult or offense meant,
No insult or offense meant, but Genesee County is probably a bad audience for something like this.
I'd take an educated guess at 1 in 500 people in the county actually understand what Net Neutrality is, the controversy over it, and the arguments on both sides.
Fortunately, internet access is a market. Whether it's government controlled or not, ISPs that limit or hinder that access, essentially the opposite of net neutrality, will lose customers quick, while those that have a business model in line with net neutrality will thrive.
As a Network Engineer working
As a Network Engineer working for one of the largest IT companies, I have a pretty good idea of what will happen if the Net Neutrality regulations were to be allowed. Costs will go up, choices will be limited and investment in new technology and research will go down. This is just another government power grab.
