[Boston911news] A Public Hearing on the Future of the Internet - Harvard Law School - 2/25

[Boston 9/11 Truth]

Keeping the Internet free and open, not privatized into gateways that block
content and restrict users is a real threat to all activism. Please consider
attending this important meeting.

The FCC is holding a public hearing in Boston about the future of the
Internet. Make your voice heard:

Attend the Hearing in Boston

Comcast, AT&T and Verzion have given us a glimpse of a world without Net
Neutrality, and it's a chilling sight.

In recent months, these cable and phone companies have repeatedly been
caught blocking, filtering and spying on your Internet activities. If we let
them get away with this, these powerful companies will continue to roll back
our freedoms whenever we go online.

Now the Federal Communications Commission is coming to Boston to
investigate. Will you attend this important event?

WHAT: A Public Hearing on the Future of the Internet
WHEN: Monday, Feb 25, 2008
TIME: 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
WHERE: Harvard Law School, Ames Courtroom, Austin Hall
1515 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02138
Directions: http://www.law.harvard.edu/about/contact/directions.php/

The question before us is simple: Will we have a closed Internet controlled
by a small handful of giant corporations, or an open Internet controlled by
the people who use it?

With so much at stake, it's encouraging that the FCC's first move is to come
to Boston for public feedback about the importance of a free-flowing
Internet. Let's hope this important hearing in Massachusetts is just the
beginning of a national conversation that spreads to every town and city
across the country.
