InternetforEveryone.org Campaign Launches
A number of Internet visionaries, business leaders, legal scholars and public interest advocates kicked off the InternetforEveryone.org on Tuesday -- yet another buzzworthy initiative aimed at connecting all Americans to affordable, high-speed Internet.
Speakers at the unveiling, held at the Personal Democracy Forum in New York City, included FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein; Google Chief Internet Evangelist Vint Cerf; Stanford University law professor Lawrence Lessig; Columbia University law professor Tim Wu; Berkman Center for Internet & Society co-founder Jonathan Zittrain and others. Watch the press conference here.
InternetforEveryone.org backers are united by four principles:
▪ Access: Every home and business in America must have access to a high-speed, world-class communications infrastructure.
▪ Choice: Every consumer must enjoy real competition in lawful online content, as well as among high-speed Internet providers, to achieve lower prices and higher speeds.
▪ Openness: Every Internet user should have the right to freedom of speech and commerce online in an open market without gatekeepers or discrimination.
▪ Innovation: The Internet should continue to create good jobs, foster entrepreneurship, spread new ideas and serve as a leading engine of economic growth.
