CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- On Wednesday, the Federal Communications Commission is holding a workshop on innovation and investment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as part of the FCC’s effort to craft new rules to protect the open Internet.
Free Press, the national, nonpartisan advocacy group, is encouraging members of the public to attend this free workshop on Jan. 13, at 4:30 p.m. at the MIT Media Lab, Bartos Theater in Cambridge, Mass.
"Without strong FCC rules to protect Net Neutrality -- the principle some call the First Amendment of the Internet -- big phone and cable companies would get to pick winners and losers online," said Misty Perez Truedson of Free Press, which coordinates the SavetheInternet.com Coalition. "What we are fighting for is to ensure that the next Internet innovator doesn't need to get permission from the likes of Comcast or AT&T before launching the next great online craze."
