Get ready to hear a lot about net neutrality if you use Amazon, Google, Netflix or hundreds of other websites
Prepare to be assaulted by net neutrality. “Hopefully this is going to be another really big moment in showing how widespread support for net neutrality is and demonstrating the power of representative government,” said Michal Rosenn, general counsel for crowdfunding site Kickstarter, one of of the participants in what’s billed as the “Day of Action to Save Net Neutrality.” Many of the websites will post mock alerts that the site is being slowed, blocked or censored by Internet service providers as examples of what might happen without the rules. “This would jeopardize one of the defining features of the Internet: openness and consumer choice.” Broadband companies said they support the basic principles of net neutrality but oppose the FCC’s utility-like oversight. AT&T Inc. said in a blog post Tuesday it would join the day of action by touting its support for an open Internet on its websites, channel guides and apps on Wednesday as well as in digital, TV and print But AT&T and other broadband providers want Congress to pass legislation codifying the rules and giving the FCC specific authority to enforce them without the extra regulatory risks from the stricter Title 2 oversight. “It’s just hardening the partisan divide of the issue.” But Greer of Fight for the Future said the day of action allows supporters of the FCC’s net neutrality rules to counter what he called “misinformation” by the broadband providers.
