For over 20 years Ive been fighting for net neutrality - an essential principle to the protection of consumers online. When Americans purchase access to the Internet, we purchase access to the entire Internet, not just our providers network. By dividing up the Internet into fast and slow lanes - with the fast only accessible by sites who pay the premium, Verizon and Comcast are playing bait and switch with every American consumer. Killing net neutrality is bad for Americas economy too. Start-ups who cannot afford to pay the toll for acceptable Internet speeds will never leave the garage. If they try to go to court for a fairer price for accessible speeds, theyll be crushed under an army of Comcasts or Verizons lawyers. Now is a critical point in the fight for net neutrality. On May 15, the FCC will propose regulations that could break the principles of net neutrality that have governed the Internet - fundamentally changing the Internet for the worse. End-users like you and me and the American economy will pay the price. Im promising to fight tooth and nail to make sure this doesnt happen.
