GUIDELINES FOR HOW TO APPRECIATE YOUR "FREE" INTERNET.

( officially sponsered by the Kaylas for a Better Internet Commission! )

What are your daily activities over the Internet?
Blogging, texting, calling, writing angry posts about the evils of Comcast (proudly guilty!),  completely forgetting about the need to read a book over break (not so proudly guilty!), and just generally enjoying a world full of connections?
If so, great! You are officially protected with your interests under Net Neutrality! -- which is awesome, by the way.
So why do companies want to take away those liberties?
It's a complex question to ask, but here are some guidelines to better appreciate your Internet while fighting for the sake of Net Neutrality being upheld by the FCC:

  1. Post, don't just relate! The world needs your voice and your opinion. It's what makes the Internet the Internet.
  2. Stay informed! There's nothing worse than a case of terrible misinformation to crudely sway you to any one side -- but this is obviously a pro-Net Neutrality blog.
  3. Peruse everything you can find about the topic! There are so many fascinating things going on with the Internet, and how unique it is in comparison to any other media system currently in existence today.
  4. News about the standard of Net Neutrality comes in almost every day! Just this month, the FCC announced their planned reforms for their regulations, including rebranding the Internet as a communications service.
  5. And finally ... Be involved! Net Neutrality is quite possibly the biggest debate that will perhaps be answered in 2015.
