Schumer on Net Neutrality

The Senator will release this statement today:

“I believe the Internet has the power to enhance one of the most fundamental values of our democracy: freedom of speech. That’s why I support the free flow of information on the Internet and enforceable network neutrality. I will oppose the flawed and limiting provisions in Senator Stevens’ bill, S. 2686, which do not prevent providers from discriminating against Internet traffic from competitors. If the Stevens bill is not changed to protect network neutrality, I will oppose it. Network neutrality has allowed the Internet to be an engine of economic innovation, democratic participation, and free speech. Eliminating it would be a serious mistake.”

Therefore, Wednesday’s rally will exist to thank Senator Schumer for his decision, and to raise awareness of this issue which affects this blog, the network on which it sits, and the tubes that bring it to you on the internets.

WNYMedia.net has teamed up with some national websites on this, and it’d be nice to have a big crowd.
