Internet neutrality proponents believe that the recent change in Congress is likely to boost their efforts to push legislation that would prohibit tiered access to the Internet.
It was sad to see so many people convinced by telecom lobbyists that net neutrality was an added regulation that prohibited a free market, when that is exactly opposite of what it actally stands for. If access to all websites is not equal, and ISP’s become gatekeepers, then the free market would be done for. Luckilly, it looks as if the good guys may have won again.
SaveTheInternet lobbied to stop telecommunications and cable companies from setting higher prices for improved speed and access to some customers. The group said election results have catapulted their efforts forward.
“The outlook for better, more public-spirited Internet legislation is now quite good,” the group said through a prepared statement.
