Dear FCC Chairman Wheeler:

The future of the open Internet is in your hands. And yet you have proposed rules that would actually break it.

Your proposed path would open the door to widespread discrimination online. It would give Internet service providers the green light to implement pay-for-priority schemes that would be a disaster for startups, nonprofits and everyday Internet users who cannot afford these unnecessary tolls.

I urge you to scrap these proposed rules and instead restore the principle of online nondiscrimination by reclassifying broadband as a telecommunications service.

    Stop the FCC from Breaking the Internet

    People everywhere understand that the Internet is a crucial driver of free speech, innovation, education, economic growth, creativity and so much more. They demand real Net Neutrality rules that protect Internet users from corporate abuse.

    But the Federal Communications Commission is proposing rules that would allow rampant discrimination online.

    Under these rules, telecom giants like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon would be able to pick winners and losers online and discriminate against online content and applications. And no one would be able to do anything about it.

    We must stop the FCC from moving forward with these rules, which would give the green light to ISPs eager to crush Net Neutrality.

    The agency can preserve Net Neutrality only by designating broadband as a telecommunications service under the law. Anything else is an attack on our rights to connect and communicate.

    Tell FCC Chairman Wheeler to throw out his proposed rules. Demand nothing less than real Net Neutrality.
