Boston FCC Hearing on the Future of the Internet
http://savetheinterne...

The Federal Communications Commission is coming to Boston to hold a public hearing about the future of the Internet.

In recent months cable and Internet companies like Comcast, AT&T and Verizon have repeatedly been caught blocking, filtering, and spying on consumers' Internet activities. The FCC is responding to the hundreds of thousands of people who have expressed their outrage over the anti-competitive practices by holding a hearing in Boston, Massachusetts.

WHAT: A Public Hearing on the Future of the Internet
WHEN: Tentatively Scheduled for Monday, Feb 25, 2008
TIME: 10:00 a.m. - FCC monthly meeting open to the public
12:00 p.m. - Open Public Hearing on the Future of the Internet
WHERE: Harvard Law School, Ames Courtroom, Austin Hall

Read the FCC announcement here.

We are in a unique moment in history when the government will decide whether 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 quickly seek public feedback and expert counsel about the future of the 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.
