SaveTheInternet Goes Against Comcast to maintain Net Neutrality

Source: snapvoip.blogspot.com

On Thursday, the SavetheInternet.com Coalition joined legal scholars to take this case to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). They filed an official action urging the agency to stop the cable giant from meddling with your ability to connect and share information.
Blocking by Comcast — and related censorship by AT&T and Verizon — gives us a glimpse of a world without Net Neutrality. We’ve filed a legal action against Comcast at the FCC.
In the “most drastic example yet of data discrimination,” the Associated Press exposed that Comcast was actively interfering with its users’ ability to access popular and legal video, photo and music sharing applications.
According to Savetheinternet, Despite mounting evidence that Comcast is crippling peer-to-peer communication, the company’s spokespeople have thumbed their noses at the public and the press — refusing to admit that the blocking of connections is underhanded or in any way threatens the free flow of information that’s become the hallmark of an open Internet.

So your Skype calls or Vonage or your plain old SIP calls might get blocked by these folks next if you do not act now. Visit the SavetheInternet.com Coalition (Internet scholars from Yale, Harvard, and Stanford also joined this protest), and promote net neutrality.
