This Tuesday the FCC headed by Ajit Pai (Who just so happened to formerly work for Verizon) released plans that will lower the amount of federal regulations placed on Internet Providers in regards to internet speeds and access also known as Net Neutrality. In short this would allow ISP's to treat websites and different internet content essentially as "channels" potentially forcing consumers to have to pay extra for websites such as INGO, Netflix or Amazon.
This proposition is totally and completely unacceptable in every way, essentially allowing companies who have a virtual monopoly on Cable and Internet Service the ability to control what people are able to see and do on the internet.
This is an incredibly important issue and I urge everyone on INGO to contact their senators and congressmen with the same tenacity we contacted them in order to move the SHARE / HPA along.

I am sorry if this is a Dupe but this is an insanely important subject that I feel the FCC is trying to pass quickly and quietly over the holiday.
