Although the popularity of the Internet is growing, the networks that
make up the Internet are not.  As a result, ever-increasing amounts of
data are being forced through existing Internet networks, many of
which are already stretched to capacity.  When that happens, a
horrendous data bottleneck that slows transmission speeds and lowers
the quality of Internet connections occurs.

Local telecommunications companies already have the technology to help
end this world wide wait.  They can deliver high-speed Internet access
through the same phone lines that bring you your telephone service,
and stand ready to invest millions in expanding the backbone of the
Internet to improve transmission speeds.  Unfortunately, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) is using outdated regulations to keep
local telephone companies out of the high-speed Internet access
market, leaving it under the control of cable companies and other
telecommunications giants.  Those outdated FCC policies are slowing
down the growth of the Internet and preventing consumers from having a
meaningful choice of high-speed Internet access providers, and that's
not fair.

We need your help to tell Congress to remove these regulations from
the Internet and give net users a real choice between high-speed
Internet access providers!  With just a few minutes and a few clicks

providers. Visit http://www.fasternet.org today!
