The Federal Communications Commission just approved a plan that allows large ISPs, the companies you buy your Internet service from, to charge big websites more and then give them preferential high speed bandwidth – an advantage over smaller companies and websites with less resources.
This will cause large media, like NBC, to eventually monopolize the Internet. You will see the amount of bandwidth greatly decrease for your ‘average website or blog owner’ and people will for the most part watch the ‘fast internet’ – the voice of your average person will be much less heard. This is contrary to what the Internet is suppose to be.
Before Tom Wheeler became Chairman of the FCC he was a lobbyist for the cable and wireless industry, which the FCC is supposed to regulate. Big surprise huh?
2 petitions are online to fight this:
Prevent the FCC from ruining the Internet
Remove Tom Wheeler from his position as FCC Chairman

Boy, that sucks a big one! The freedom of the internet is vanishing right before our eyes. Running wild since the 1990’s, but it had to they had to build what amounts to a dam, which the controls are placed in thevhands of a few. It will be interesting to see how it looks in 50 years.
Don’t forget the fact that they will be able to censor what we’re actually seeing on the Internet, which equals more propaganda and corruption.
No way should the US give away the oversight of the internet, to anyone else let alone the UN be in control of the internet, just now they are trying to make Pro-Life speech, hate speech…imagine what they will do to the internet and the freedoms we enjoy now….
STOP Obama from handing over the INTERNET to Tyrants!!! “Not since Jimmy Carter (was held hostage by Iran) has the Oval Office seemed so inconsequential against the forces of international darkness… Although he is guilty of executive overreach at home, that bully behavior only sharpens the contrast with a foreign policy that is feeble when it is not comatose. The president’s estrangement from the demands of global leadership is giving a green light to tyrants and malevolent opportunists everywhere.” Written by Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalist Michael Goodwin in an article on the New York Post website. (worth looking up to read!) It is bad enough that President Obama has spent the past five years shrinking back in the face of evil, making America weaker on the world stage. He’s also willing to hand over one of our nation’s greatest resources – the Internet – to those same “tyrants and malevolent opportunists.” A quote from Ron De Jong on the Grassfire – Report Truth = Take Action website! A good one to follow!!
