Save the Internet

We're usually guilty of saying the Internet should be saved from itself. But even on its most imbecilic days, the World Wide Web and its various junctions help us gain access to information, connect with people, and share ideas. That's why the idea of Net Neutrality needs to be shared far and wide. As Save the Internet.com details, we've been taking for granted open access on the Internet for decades. But big cable and telecom companies are all lobbying Congress for deep control over the express lanes on the Information Superhighway. This is about more than the freedom to share LOLs on MySpace. Hundreds of millions of people work, communicate, and connnect online every minute. The threat is real to the open exchange that helped the Web blossom in the first place. Even though it's only just little old you versus a billion-dollar cartel, you can act. No matter who or what the Internet needs to be saved from, shouldn't it be we the people who do the saving?
