Today is a very important day in the ongoing battle against large ISP’s in the United States over net neutrality. Companies like Comcast, Verizon, AT&T and Time Warner Cable would like to charge large fees to sites in order to provide fast speeds. Rather than provide them for the fees that customers are already paying. Those sites who don’t agree to the strong arm tactics will be left behind. The real losers are all of us who will experience major slow downs. You can help by acting today during the Battle for the Net campaign.
There are well over 10,000 sites participating in today’s Battle for the Net. Some of the most high profile companies in the world are participating with sites like Netflix, Mozilla, Reddit and WordPress running a special message on their sites today. So far well over 10,000 sites are joining in the campaign and that number is growing by the minute. We noticed a number of VPN providers either running the message or promotion Battle for the Net on their blog. Cheers to IPVanish, PureVPN, TunnelBear and anyone else I may have missed.
Please visit the Battle for the Net site to learn more and help in today’s campaign. The future of the Internet is very much in jeopardy. The large ISP’s are spending millions but we can all make our voices count more.
