CT Net Neutrality

gistfile1.txt

This letter is intended for my representatives in the state, but copied to a number of members in my network. News links at the bottom.

I am unimaginably disappointed in our state representation for not allowing a vote on Net Neutrality. Beyond that, I am appalled that every member of our representation does not back Net Neutrality. 

As along time member of the high tech community in CT I feel it’s unimaginable that our state would allow our broadband to be hijacked by telecom companies. Net Neutrality has been proven to stifle innovation, cost consumers more, and only benefit the already profitable telecom companies. 

I want to understand the specifics of why our representatives feel that Net Neutrality does not benefit CT. This is not a federal issue, and if that is in the response I will discount it completely. You are CT state representatives, I live in CT, and I expect my representatives to represent me. This is a fight for all Americans at every level.

I am blind copying this to many CT residents I know which includes a number of other members of our High Tech community in the state. I hope they forward this to their contacts as well and demand the same answers and action on Net Neutrality from their local representatives. 

I am eagerly awaiting your response explaining why you feel this is beneficial to the residents of CT that you represent. 

Thank you
