[ISLMA-Share] Fwd: [stateifc] FW: Net neutrality protections eliminated in draft FCC order

Mon Nov 27 16:35:25 CST 2017

This is not meant to be political post and if this post is inappropriate
for the listserve, I apologize, but I think Net Neutrality is a topic that
should interest any media specialist. I don't know how closely you have
been following the news re: Net Neutrality but it's really important that
we contact our representatives and tell them not to repeal the Net
Neutrality..

This goes beyond partisan politics. While repealing Net Neutrality will
definitely affect us personally, think about the various student
populations with whom we work. If we are serious about providing EQUAL
access to ALL INFORMATION to EVERYONE, then we really need to take a stand
on this issue. In just a couple of weeks, the FCC is planning on meeting to
repeal Net Neutrality, but we can still change their minds.

If you're not sure how to get involved, here are a couple of options:

*What Happened:*

The day before Thanksgiving, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Chairman Pai publicly shared his plan to dismantle network neutrality
protections approved by the FCC in 2015 and affirmed by the federal appeals
court in 2016. The new draft order is scheduled to be voted on by the five
FCC commissioners on December 14.

*Why It Matters:*

Net neutrality is the principle that internet service providers (ISPs) must
enable access to all legal content and applications regardless of the
source and without favoring or blocking specific services or websites.
Strong, enforceable rules are critical to the functioning of modern
libraries because we rely on the internet to collect, create and
disseminate essential online information and services to the public.
Libraries and our patrons cannot afford to be relegated to "slow lanes" on
the internet. ALA has two resolutions regarding net neutrality: the first
affirms net neutrality

and the second reaffirms our support.

*What You Can Do:*

Right now, the FCC is not accepting public comments (that may come later),
but strong disapproval from members of Congress (especially from
Republicans and those that serve on committees with oversight for the FCC)
could force a pause in the December 14 vote to derail net neutrality. Make
your voice heard now by emailing your member of Congress to support net
neutrality protections.
