Stop the slow lane
If you're here, you probably know that the Federal Communications Comission is proposing new rules to allow Internet providers to discriminate based on content to provide separate and unequal connection speeds, effectively creating "fast" and "slow" lanes for the Internet. This means that website owners and entrepreneurs like you may be forced to pay an arbitrary fee to ISPs like Comcast and Time Warner if you want your visitors to be able to access your website at regular speeds or at all.
This is a big issue. ISPs want to extort money from websites they deem profitable enough to pay them extra. We must convince the FCC that this is a terrible idea.
#StopTheSlowLane is an initiative to raise awareness about this issue. At its core is a simple JavaScript widget and Wordpress Plugin for your website or blog that will inform your visitors about what's going on and empower them to easily contact Congress and the FCC voicing their opposition to this proposal. Our goal is to get as many people as possible to do this, and we need your help.
