Overview

Everyone has a favorite Internet site. Maybe it’s a local events site, or a blog, or a small online magazine. Whatever the content, it's important to us that our Web use is easy and unhindered, and that Web sites put up by individuals, nonprofits and small groups are as accessible as those maintained by big corporations.

Now, however, the largest telephone and cable companies are trying to limit our Internet access by deciding who and what gets priority. Their plan is to force Web site operators to pay a premium for faster service even though it costs providers nothing to give everyone equal access.

Senators still have the opportunity to preserve what’s called Internet neutrality. OSPIRG and the federation of state PIRGs  (U.S. PIRG), have joined a diverse coalition of concerned organizations in urging the Senate to keep our Internet free and open. Every American has the right to enjoy all the benefits that the Internet has to offer. OSPIRG is working to make sure that right is protected.
