Posted by MML on January 7th, 2010

“In 2007, NARAL Pro-Choice America wanted to send a text message to its membership, but Verizon denied the request, preventing NARAL from communicating freely with its own members. Comcast was caught red-handed blocking customer access to BitTorrent, a legal file sharing application. And AT&T censored comments critical of former President George W. Bush during a Webstream of a Pearl Jam concert. This type of gatekeeping could become the norm without Net Neutrality, which is why we need to have rules protecting Net Neutrality in place at the FCC.”
