<div dir="ltr">Hi All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here in the US, the FCC is proposing new rules that
would allow ISPs to discriminate against internet
traffic based on content. This would allow, for
instance, a recent deal between Netflix and Comcast in
which Comcast deliberately slows down Netflix traffic to
paying customers unless Netflix also pays Comcast.</div>

<div>I want an internet where access doesn't depend on
corporate bribes, and I'll bet you do too. With an
extended network of millions, hackerspaces are in a
great place to have a real influence on this before the
FCC kills net neutrality.</div>

</div>
<div>Let's start coordinating any current efforts and
sources of information, and discussing what type of
actions and statements we can make. If you want to
help, start by joining and introducing yourself to this
