Last week I published an article on the urgency of net neutrality on my investing Web site. The following is a model message you can use to speak out on the issue. Fill in the blanks and send it to the FCC, your congressman, or anyone else you think can make a difference. You have permission to use and modify it in any way you like. I ask only that, if you publish it online, you link back to Quite Contrarian.------------------------------Subject: FCC Docket 07-52 Dear Ms. Hendrickson [or your Congressman],I write in response to the FCC's call for comments regarding net neutrality. The importance of this issue cannot be understated. The Internet represents the very first time in human history that ideas can compete based solely on their merit, and not on access to expensive and tightly-controlled channels of communication. Contrary to what opponents claim, a policy of net neutrality is not an increase in regulation. In fact, its very purpose is to keep the net free and unregulated. Make no mistake: opponents of net neutrality are not champions of free markets. They are the opposite - what they want is to a market skewed in favor of those with the most resources, as opposed to those with the best information.Few have fully considered the potential for abuse if net neutrality is abandoned. The potential consequences are staggering. Telecommunications corporations, if given this sort of control, could grant priority access at their sole discretion to those with messages that jibe with their own beliefs and motives, while effectively censoring speakers with whom they disagree. Even wealthy companies could effectively be barred based on the will of the telecom executives alone, who may simply refuse to accept their business. This must not be allowed to happen.Further, the Internet is an international medium. To give worldwide control over information flow to a few American telecom executives is unconscionable. The potential harm to worldwide liberty of expression is beyond description.Thank you for your consideration. The worldwide Internet communityhopes that the Congress and the FCC will make the rightdecision.Regards,[Your Name]
