Talk to FCC about Net Neutrality at U of M Tuesday, August 24 at 10AM

[Eric J in MN]

Who: U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski

When: Tuesday, August 24, 2010 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Where: University of Minnesota, Carlson School of Management, 3M Auditorium, 321 19th Ave South, Minneapolis MN 55455

Chairman Genachowski once pledged to preserve Net Neutrality and restore the FCC's power to protect consumers. But he's now reluctant to take the final step - bringing these issues to a vote at the FCC. Genachowski needs to listen less to the big corporations behind closed doors in Washington and listen more to Internet users. He needs to hear from you. Join others Tuesday Morning. Urge Genachowski to Protect Net Neutrality.

1. How sad this is at a time when many of us are at work.

thank you Eric for posting, I hope many can go. when I went to the meeting last week there were over 700 people there.
I was speaker # 64. I would say the 1st 30 incredible people who spoke were either from agencies that worked with people who really need more internet access, or who worked or ran business of Technology, or in Communications.
I am really hoping they will be able to make this last minute meeting.


How can the other FCC members and Sen Franken set a time when the working class can make it, and now the Chairman can only come in the middle of the morning? And at the "School of Management". What does that tell you?

I hope Mr Genachowski mentions that he watched the whole video and listened to the people.

I look forward to seeing it on THE UPTAKE.
