Iraq Dispatches: Save the Internet!

THE US CONGRESS IS ABOUT TO SELL OUT THE INTERNET BY LETTING BIG PHONE AND CABLE COMPANIES SET UP TOLL BOOTHS ALONG THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY.

COMPANIES LIKE AT&T, VERIZON AND COMCAST ARE SPENDING TENS OF MILLIONS IN WASHINGTON TO KILL "NETWORK NEUTRALITY" -- A PRINCIPLE THAT KEEPS THE INTERNET OPEN TO ALL.

A bill moving quickly through Congress would let these companies become
Internet gatekeepers, deciding which Web sites go fast or slow -- and
which won't load at all -- based on who pays them more. The rest of us
will be detoured to the "slow lane," clicking furiously and waiting for
our favorite sites to download.

DON'T LET CONGRESS RUIN THE INTERNET!

Rep. Joe Barton

CONGRESS SELLS OUT

After accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions from
big telecom firms, Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) is sponsoring a bill to
hand over the Internet to these same companies. He's not alone.

Where Does Your Representative Stand?

ACT NOW: SAVE THE INTERNET



*TELL CONGRESS TO SAVE NET NEUTRALITY NOW*



Our elected representatives are trading favors for campaign donations
from phone and cable companies. They're being wooed by people like
AT&T's CEO, who says "the Internet can't be free" and wants to decide
what you do, where you go and what you watch online.

The best ideas never come from those with the deepest pockets. If the
phone and cable companies get their way, the free and open Internet
could soon be fenced in by large corporations. If Congress turns the
Internet over to giants like AT&T, everyone who uses the Internet will
suffer:

* *Google users* -- Another search engine could pay AT&T to
guarantee that it opens faster than Google on your computer.

* *iPod listeners* -- Comcast could slow access to iTunes, steering
you to a higher-priced music service that paid for the privilege.

* *Work-at-home parents* -- Connecting to your office could take
longer if you don't purchase your carrier's preferred
applications. Sending family photos and videos could slow to a crawl.

* *Retirees* -- Web pages you always use for online banking, access
to health care information, planning a trip or communicating with
friends and family could fall victim to Verizon's pay-for-speed
schemes.

* *Bloggers* -- Costs will skyrocket to post and share video and
audio clips -- silencing citizen journalists and amplifying the
mainstream media.

* *Online activists* -- Political organizing could be slowed by the
handful of dominant Internet providers who ask advocacy groups to
pay a fee to join the "fast lane."

* *Small businesses* -- When AT&T favors their own services, you
won't be able to choose more affordable providers for online
video, teleconferencing, and Internet phone calls.

* *Innovators with the "next big idea"* -- Startups and
entrepreneurs will be muscled out of the marketplace by big
corporations that pay for a top spot on the Web.

WE CAN'T LET CONGRESS RUIN THE FREE AND OPEN INTERNET.

*Let Congress Know that You Want Net Neutrality Now*


WE MUST ACT NOW OR LOSE THE INTERNET AS WE KNOW IT.

Onward,

Robert W. McChesney
President
