Today, President Obama weighed in on the Net Neutrality debate, with a position urging the FCC to reclassify the Internet as a Public Utility.  Who knows if Obama has any real power to influence the FCC's decision, but it is certainly a step in the right direction.  Here's a great article from Gizmodo breaking down the issue and Obama's comments.  And you can watch the video of Obama's statement below.



Just last week, I wrote about this, encouraged by the 4 million Americans who made their voices heard during the FCC's Public Comment period.  Now that the White House has taken a firm position, it's an even better time for YOU to get involved.  Here's an easy way to send a message to the FCC.  Let them know you don't want big ISPs controlling who gets what internet content and how fast they get it.
