Telecom bill

We need a “Multicast/Equal Access” Amendment to the Telecom bill.

Please support "Net Neutrality" in the Telecom bill.

"Multicast/Equal Access" (formerly called "Multicast/Must-carry") will go a long way to preventing discrimination against broadcasters. Without a "Multicast/Equal Access" law, the cable and satellite companies would be able to deny access to independent broadcasters.

If "Net Neutrality" legislation does not pass, consumers will have to pay an additional fee to have a website. The cable/telephone monopoly will divide the Internet into a "fast track" and "slow track".
