not my blog

I had sent an e-mail to both my senators a couple weeks ago about the whole Net Neutrality debacle. I was quite surprised today when I received an email back from Barbara Mikulski, granted it was a form letter, but I am happy to say she states she is in favor of Net Neutrality.

Dear Mr. Cover:

Thank you for contacting me in support of network neutrality and free and open access to the Internet. I appreciate hearing from you about this issue.

I understand your concern that the Internet should not favor certain content or services over others. I believe that the Internet is not only an important tool, but a vital resource. It has allowed millions of Americans to communicate instantly with people around the world. It has put access to libraries of information at everyone’s fingertips. The use of the Internet continues to grow, and the ways we use it continue to expand. Your views on network neutrality will be very helpful to me as Congress considers this issue.

Thanks again for getting in touch with me. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance to you again in the future.

Sincerely,
Barbara A. Mikulski
United States Senator

My only request of Senator Mikulski, is live up to these words, find the two-tiered internet. Do not let the teleco’s win!
