Principles:

Building Blocks for a Better Internet

To make sure everyone can benefit from the new economy and guarantee that all citizens play an active role in our democracy, our nation must embark on a national campaign to connect every person to a fast, affordable and open Internet. The InternetforEveryone.org initiative calls on Congress and the president to act in the public interest by enacting a plan for the wired and wireless Internet built upon the following principles:

Access Every home, business and civic institution in America must have access to a high-speed, world-class communications infrastructure.

Choice Every consumer must enjoy real competition in lawful 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.

(Okay, they're calling on Congress and the President, but they'll soon wake up and realize that we have to do it ourselves. --Mark)
