It’s The Eleventh Hour For Responding To Net Neutrality

Many thanks to Thomas Cott for reminding everyone via yesterday’s newsletter yesterday that Monday, 9/15/14 is the deadline for submitting your comments to the proposed changes that would gut Net Neutrality as we know it. If you’re just coming in on this issue, here’s what you need to know in a nutshell: it’s a terrible idea and you should do everything you can help make sure it doesn’t happen.

To that end, you can submit a comment via the FCC’s form or send an email to mailto:openinternet@fcc.gov.

If you want to know why it’s a terrible idea, we’ve got you covered via a series of posts that dive deep into the details and how it is especially bad for nonprofit performing arts organizations:
