Tomorrow is the Internet Slowdown

Time for another Web protest to keep the cable companies from breaking the internet

THIS IS THE BATTLE FOR THE NET. Team Cable is spending millions to destroy the open internet. Stop them: battleforthenet.com

The goal now is to get the FCC to reclassify Internet Service Providers in a way that will allow the them to effectively enforce net neutrality (Title II is the key to net neutrality—so what is it?).

What can you do? Submit a comment to the FCC by September 15 (enter “14-28” in the proceeding number field and “Protecting and Promoting the Open Internet” for the name of flier field. Read others’ comments here). Encourage others by emailing, writing a post, and/or participating in tomorrow’s Internet Slowdown protest with a bit of code to display an alert on your site for the day (as I’ll be doing) or a “page loading” icon for your social media thingy.
