So in the Bush administration, broadband was classified as an information service (regulated under Title I of the Communications Act) rather than a telecommunications service (regulated under Title II). This meant that the FCC could not prevent broadband internet providers from discriminating against content -- your ISP could choose whether your page was going to load fast, slow, or not at all, based on their own criteria.

The Chairman of the FCC, bowing to pressure from members of Congress, watchdogs like Free Press, and people like us, has just changed his stance and moved to reclassify broadband under Title II. Please show your support by sending a letter here:

I've made the plunge, thanks to encouragement and an invite code from a certain math nerd, and now I'm posting on Dreamwidth. It seems as though a lot of my LJ friends are either moving to Dreamwidth, starting their own blogs, or abandoning online journals altogether.

I'm still reading and commenting on LJ, but I'll be originating content over here at DW.
