  • 2007 Two Million Tell FCC: Stand Strong on Net Neutrality

    The SavetheInternet.com Coalition and its many activists conducted a week-long marathon of petition deliveries in advance of the FCC’s vote on its open Internet proceeding. Every hour of the day we dropped off 50,000 signatures until the agency closed its public comment period. The more than 2 million petitions collected from across the country called on the FCC to stand up for real Net Neutrality and safeguard the open Internet.

  • 2007 FCC Caves, Offers Fake Net Neutrality

    By a 3-2 vote, the FCC approved new rules intended to prevent Internet providers like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon from acting as gatekeepers on the Web. The rules, however, heavily favored the industry they were intended to regulate, leaving consumers with minimal protections. FCC Chairman Genachowski chose to ignore the overwhelming public support for real Net Neutrality, instead moving forward with industry-written rules that for the first time in Internet history allowed discrimination online and via the wireless Internet.

  • 2008 Carrier Violates Net Neutrality

    Wireless carrier MetroPCS’s gave users a preview of the wireless future in a world without Net Neutrality protections on the mobile Web. The company started to offer unlimited talk, text, “Web browsing” and YouTube at a base price of $40 per month. But the scheme exists inside a “walled garden” that appears to block Skype, Netflix and other popular consumer Internet services. Free Press and its allies soon countered with a complaint urging the FCC to investigate the plan.

  • 2008 Congress Moves Against an Open Internet

    Extreme partisans in the House rallied behind a congressional “resolution of disapproval,” which would strip the FCC of the authority to enforce its already weakened Net Neutrality rules. The measure, which is likely to be taken up by the Senate in fall 2011, is a dangerous overreach that would hamstring the FCC and leave Internet users unprotected while giving companies like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon free rein to censor free speech or block access to any website.
