Free the Internet and End the Digital Divide!

Target: You and Your Community!
Sponsored by: OneWebDay

The Internet belongs to everyone, yet all over the world, government regulators as well as powerful corporate entities, are making important decisions about the future of the Web. Are you at the table?

The Web is a vital resource, but many people around the globe cannot breach the barriers to access.

Right now, governments, corporate entities and technical elites decide the fate of the most powerful, inclusive communications platform ever created. They're making decisions about who will have access, at what speeds, and at what price. They're deciding how to invest in training and education in 21st century communications.

Even the principles that make the Web an open platform for the creativity of every user are in question. The global economy is in crisis, and the open Internet is a pathway to economic opportunity. Everyone should have access, and everyone should help in deciding the future of the Web.

Sign the pledge to free the Net and increase Internet access to all citizens around the world!

The Pledge:

I pledge to work to extend access to the Internet -- the open, free Internet -- to all, across boundaries of place, culture and class.

There is no question that the internet should be free to the people. We are the ones that have payed through our taxes to develop it anyway. Why should the Governments be able to give it to these Mongering Corporations so that they can continue to rape our pockets! !

The Internet is a valuable learning tool, just like the library. You can learn so much online. The internet should be free and accessable to everyone. Children, adults, and seniors of all ages should be able to enjoy the endless knowledge that the internet provides. You can learn more on the Inernet in one hour that you could at the library for an entire day!

It shouldnt even be questionable as to who can access the internet and who cant. Its a breach against democracy which is what our country is severely lacking in.

I don't really have my own ideas as to how to allow the web to be open all over the world, but I am definitely in support to allow it to be offered everywhere. It is definitely a powerful tool for employment, being informed and keeping in touch with the happenings of the world. Everyone should have the oppurtunity to beable to access the web.
