I urge Rep Buck to support the restoration of Obama-era net neutrality provisions. A free an open internet is necessary for small business and innovation. As someone who works in e-commerce, net neutrality directly affects my livelihood. It also affects the economy of Colorado as a whole. True net neutrality provisions are especially important given the upcoming AT&T merger and other consolidation in the media sector. I don't want my company's traffic disfavored by Comcast or other ISPs. It seems clear that the FCC behaved dishonestly during its repeal of net neutrality provisions. Reign in this dishonest government agency and support true net neutrality.
