Save the Internet brings their fight to the FCC
In response to a new FCC public inquiry into net neutrality, Save the Internet has launched a campaign encouraging web users to speak out. This video has it all: comic-book graphics, flag-waving patriotism, even alien spaceships -- not to mention a nifty visual representation of what a gatekeeper system could do to the flow of internet communication. There's also an easy-to-use setup over on the Save the Internet site that will send your thoughts on the importance of net neutrality directly to the FCC. Before you draft your treatise on what Nora the Piano-Playing Cat means to you, keep in mind the kind of feedback the FCC is looking for, which, according to Chairman Kevin J. Martin, is a "comment on how broadband providers are managing their Internet traffic, whether certain traffic is prioritized and whether FCC policies should distinguish between content providers that charge end users for access to content and those that do not." But if you can cover that and work Nora in, I think you've got a winner.
