I support legislation that guarantees "Internet Freedom" known as network neutrality. This idea is commonly referred to as the "First Amendment" of the Internet and ensures equal access for all to the Internet. However, this freedom is now in jeopardy.
There should be no corporate or governmental gatekeepers for the online medium. Consumers should be able to readily visit the website of their choice, when they choose. Websites, such as those from local businesses and non-profits, should not have to pay a tax to large cable or phone companies in order to ensure they receive reasonable service. There shouldn't be toll lanes for online communications that would impose additional charges for different levels of access. Such open access is the foundation of the Internet's success and its usefulness as a tool for public information.
