Ed Vaizey and his corporate friends finally backed down. We forced them to drop these ridiculous plans to destroy the open internet. Keep your guard up because they will try to squeeze us again if we stop paying attention.
Net Neutrality means that Internet service providers shouldn't discriminate between different kinds of content and services. it means a level playing field for all Web sites and Internet technologies.
Now Culture minister Ed Vaizey has suggested that UK service providers should be able to charge content makers and customers for faster access, and that ISP's will be allowed to favour some sources over others.
Web sites that display video such as the BBC or YouTube could face extra charges or slower speeds.
Service Providers could also decide to charge extra to ensure lag free online games.
What other internet services will be penalised or come at a premium?
Users are already paying to access the internet, and content providers are already paying to make their services available. Why should anyone need to pay again?
Please sign the petition to keep the UK Net Neutral.
Ed Vaizey thinks he can sell off the open internet to the highest bidder while we sit back and watch. I am tired of the silence from these bureaucrats who are clearly prioritizing ISP profits over our basic access. This fight is far from over because we refuse to let them break the web for extra cash.

The momentum behind this fight has hit a new level and Ed Vaizey needs to understand that we are not going to let him turn the internet into a playground for corporate greed. We are finally forcing these people to pay attention to the fact that they cannot auction off our digital rights to the highest bidder.
