Startups for Net Neutrality

3 min read Original article ↗

The beauty of the Internet is that anyone with a computer and an Internet connection has the power to start a business and make an impact on the world. For those who are driven and passionate, the possibilities are endless.

To limit net neutrality would drastically reduce the freedom, openness, and possibility of the Internet as we know it.

Yes, I'm an avid supporter of net neutrality!

72 proud believers in an open internet:

"Love reddit? Steve and I could never have started it without a level playing field. Net neutrality is the only way the internet will continue to be a free market of ideas where the best ones win because they're awesome, not because an internet provider picked a winner."

Alexis Ohanian, reddit Founder

"When you’re trying to run a business, any uncertainty can be dangerous - enough to spook investors and stunt growth. In this way, we are already feeling the impact of the net neutrality debate. Democracy on the Internet is incredibly important to our business so we want a positive resolution, but we need it quickly."

Jamie Wilkinson, VHX Co-Founder and CEO

"If we want to ensure that all entrepreneurs are able to build companies, we need to ensure equality of access to the fundamental building blocks. Without net neutrality, access to the Internet, and the platform it provides, will be unequal, and the playing field will never be level."
