“Gated Internet” Bad News For Small Business & Web Hosting Industry
What does a “Gated Internet” mean?
Many big communication companies are trying to pass a bill to regulate the World Wide Web into regions. To web surfers this means you can only access website that the ISP allows and to website owners, small businesses, and web hosting companies it means less visitors and customers.

Trying to keep “World” in the World Wide Web the Save the Internet organization is a good place for everyone to support Net Neutrality Act Now!

I work on net neutrality issues and am unaware of any legislation that would allow ISP’s to block certain websites, much less divide the Internet into “regions.” Unfortunately, there is a great deal of misinformation, intentional and unintentional, on the Internet surrounding the so-called net neutrality debate. For a better understanding of the net neutrality legislation in front of Congress, I’d recommend you visit our coalition’s blog at www.handsoff.org.

Thank you HandsOff for your comment. There is a lot of confusion about this subject. I admit I’m confused about the exact details of Net Neutrality, but we all have a common goal - to keep the Internet the way it should be, open.
