Internet For Everyone
Internet for Everyone is a coalition of companies and individuals who are intent on making broadband internet an open and available resource to as many Americans as possible. They have four main goals:
- Access: Every home and business in America must have access to a high-speed, world class communications infrastructure.
- Choice: Every consumer must enjoy real competition in online content as well as among high-speed Internet providers to achieve lower prices and higher speeds.
- Openness: Every Internet user should have the right to freedom of speech and commerce online in an open market without gatekeepers or discrimination.
- Innovation: The Internet should continue to create good jobs, foster entrepreneurship, spread new ideas and serve as a leading engine of economic growth.
Many companies have joined this effort including ACLU, BitTorrent, eBay, Google, Open DNS, Skype, Writers Guild of America (East and West), and a bunch of others.
America has fallen way behind Europe and Asia in regards to broadband and Internet for Everyone hopes to bring America’s high-speed services back into the forefront.
