Yahoo groups are just one way we all use the internet daily. We use our neighborhood list serves to build community and connect with neighbors and we do not believe in paying to play. It is important that the web, which was developed by the US military and paid for by our tax money, stays regulated like other public utilities.
Why is this important?
As a moderator of a local neighborhood list serve, and a research librarian, I believe that access to the internet should remain equal and free from restrictions. Net neutrality is the assurance that access to the Web and its content will not be blocked, slowed down, or sped up depending on where that access is based or who owns the access point. Net neutrality is a fundamental democratic principal and as local list serves have shown, is the new town square for community discussions.
