Net neutral-i-kitty takes on cable boss; hilarious pix & vid
by Rachel Colyer
On Jan. 26 the FCC held an open commission meetingthis is when they vote on rules once a month. While the FCC voted to legally re-define broadband as 25 Mbps down/3 Mbps instead of the pitiful 4 Mbps down and 1 Mbps weve been receiving (expect faster internet in the near future,YAY!), net neutrality advocates held a Battle Royale between Net Neutral-i-kitty and a Big Cable boss.
And the awesomeness ensued:
This political theater brings some levity to what is a very serious and pressing concern. We are in a good position to protect an open internet where the free flow of information, communication, and knowledge wont be throttled. While we havent seen the detailswhich will determine the strength of the rulessources indicated the FCC will do the right thing and use Title II authority. Given this, we wanted to remind the FCC we are still watching and waiting for their rules. Hopefully, this wont turn out to be a cat fight with the FCC in the coming weeks. Meow!
H/T to the staff at Free Press and Consumers Union for pulling this together.
Please, help us protect all that weve built with this amazing campaign. Call your members of Congress today urging them to "Let the FCC do its job" to create net neutrality rules and protect an open internet.
Can't call? Sign and send a petition to your member of Congress: Don't kill net neutrality.
