Without strong net neutrality rules, we might have to rely upon the good will of large telecoms to protect our access to the diversity of political perspectives. We might have to trust companies like Comcast, which actively and secretly interfered with users' ability to access popular video, photo and music sharing applications; AT&T, which censored anti-Bush comments made by Pearl Jam's lead singer during a concert; and Verizon Wireless, which blocked text messages between a pro-choice reproductive rights group and its members.
Corporate America already has absolute control over all mass media. The internet has been a significant tool in combating corporate censorship. A free and open internet - without corporate gatekeepers - is essential.
