---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Sherrod Brown* <i...@sherrodbrown.com> Date: Wednesday, May 17, 2017 Subject: Beginning of the end for net neutrality To: Andrew Stewart <hasc.warrior.s...@gmail.com> *"FCC taking first vote on net neutrality rollback"* -- *The Hill*, 5/15/2017 Andrew, The Trump FCC is about to take the first step toward destroying net neutrality. *"On Thursday, the Trump FCC will vote to adopt a final 'Notice of Proposed Rulemaking' (NPRM) that will officially begin the effort to repeal the 2015 network neutrality rules and the legal authority upon which they are based..."* -- *Mashable*, 5/15/2017 If net neutrality disappears, the Internet as we know it will change. Large companies would be able to pay for their content to move faster, tilting the playing field away from small-scale content providers and online innovators. The free, open nature of the Internet will likely fundamentally change -- the result being a huge handout to corporate special interests. *We have a petition urging members of the FCC to protect net neutrality. Right now we have 12,000 signatures. Before Thursday's vote, I want to get that number up to 25,000.* <http://oh.sherrodbrown.com/page/m/302fe791/445e1650/28b216a7/20019482/1063012458/VEsH/> *Add your signature >>* <http://oh.sherrodbrown.com/page/m/302fe791/445e1650/28b216a7/20019482/1063012458/VEsE/> Thank you.
