I am commenting to demand that the Open Internet Rules be fully protected. Freedom of speech and freedom of information are crucial to our nation, and attempts to circumvent these rights by telecom companies are unacceptable. I do NOT want ISP’s to have the power to slow down internet connections, or charge more simply to access content. Companies have made it clear that this is their goal. This will enable them to strangle small businesses and financially harm many Americans. Protect the Open Internet Rules. The majority of Americans support their protection. This support crosses party lines on a level rarely seen before. Again, as an American citizen I demand that the Open Internet Rules be protected.
