My letter: Youve already seen thousands of the technical version. Now lets go with this, the straightforward moral grounds: The government has stepped in and broken up monolithic and overtly destructive, all engulfing entities before, and will do so again. Unless of course, said entities are too deeply in your pockets? The US is a mere child of two hundred plus years, full of the adolescent arrogance and short sightedness of all youth, and like the Big Banks, our culture in general lives under the false assumption that it cannot fail. But the educated among us, and those with any common sense at all, know it can. This is only one step further towards said failure. People are becoming more aware. More people are being effected sufficiently at the existence level, that the mere subsistence level being controlled by all of this corporate ownership of our lands, rights,and options in life, is affecting the once politically numb, the typical middle class, Its not my problem center of the country, and they ARE BEGINNING TO SEE THAT THIS, YOU, ARE THEIR PROBLEM! Their enemy! Do not be fooled. Those NOT angry ENOUGH to vote, are often MORE than ANGRY ENOUGH to REVOLT/WREAK HAVOC! As for me, I vote. I VOTE FOR NET NEUTRALITY, AND NEUTRALITY IN ALL BUSINESS LAWS! As with the banks, and as with civilizations, NO ONE IS TOO BIG TO FAIL! And if no one can afford anything, no one will buy it, and then a true oligarchy will emerge, along with a Kingdom, in the traditional sense. The top ten percent will have so much to choose from, that you, and what you today get paid to offer at ridiculously high rate, will be a dime a dozen; poverty will welcome you, Mr/Ms Senator, with OPEN ARMS! And your children, and theirs... Now, the business version: Net neutrality is the First Amendment of the Internet, the principle that Internet service providers (ISPs) treat all data equally. As an Internet user, net neutrality is vitally important to me. The FCC should use its Title II authority to protect it. Most Americans have only one choice for truly high speed Internet: their local cable company. This is a political failure, and it is an embarrassment. America deserves competition and choice. Without net neutrality, a bad situation gets even worse. These ISPs will now be able to manipulate our Internet experience by speeding up some services and slowing down others. That kills choice, diversity, and quality. It also causes tremendous economic harm. If ISPs can speed up favored services and slow others, new businesses will no longer be able to rely on a level playing field. When ISPs can slow your site and destroy your business at will, how can any startup attract investors? My friends, family, and I use the Internet for conversation and fun, but also for work and business. When you let ISPs mess with our Internet experience, you are attacking our social lives, our entertainment, and our economic well being. We wont stand for it. ISPs are opposing Title II so that they can destroy the FCCs net neutrality rules in court. This is the same trick they pulled last time. Please, lets not be fooled again. Title II is the strong, legally sound way to enforce net neutrality. Use it.
