I am writing to the FCC to resist the removal of the current regulations for Net Neutrality on December 14, 2017. The removal of these regulations will hurt small businesses and possible ramifications on free speech. Allowing a handful of very large and powerful Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to determine the speed at which customers are able to access information from websites is WRONG and against the concept of a Free Market. The Internet is a utility/tool. The Internet touches every aspect of our life; people are encouraged to use the Internet instead of directly to a real person/business. If regulations are removed then the cost that these ISPs will assign to the tiered data speeds will be passed onto customers that already pay an exorbitant amount for a sub-par Internet access as compared to other developed countries. Lastly, I believe that the association that Ajit Pai has with Verizon Communications should disqualify him from voting on Net Neutrality as his influence would directly affect his previous employer.
