If you guys remember SOPA, this one is about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality">net neutrality</a>. For those who don't know, net neutrality allows for all net traffic to be treated equal. Without it, large companies can come in and prioritize traffic akin to high-speed toll roads, at the cost of all other net traffic. That would mean you'll have to pay extra to watch YouTube or Netflix (on top of what you'll pay for their service) at speeds you get automatically right now. Services that would benefit from high-speed direct net traffic, like YouTube and Netflix, oppose this! The <u>only</u> ones who would benefit are the large internet service providers like Comcast and AT&T.<br /><br />Well in this case, the Federal Communications Commission is looking to end net neutrality. Yes, they are a big, faceless, out-of-touch bureaucracy, but we still have a voice! This issue is so big and far-reaching, even non-Americans are voicing their concerns to them! (Yes, this is not limited to US citizens.) Here is what you do:<br /><br />1. Read <a href="http://gizmodo.com/how-to-yell-at-the-fcc-about-how-much-you-hate-its-n… /><br />2. On your computer/device, write a document about your concerns about this, while sounding professional.<br /><br />3. Fill out this <a href="http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/display?z=x6oj0">form</a> with your document attached, and then send.
