NET NEUTRALITY: YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT 'TILL IT'S GONE
An ARTxFM Special Broadcast

LISTEN HERE

On December 14, 2017, the FCC Comissoners -- lead by Trump appointee Ajit Pai -- will be considering a reversal of the previous FCC's decision that the Internet is a telecommunications service essential to the public need and should be regulated using Title 2 of the 1996 Communications Act.  Such a reversal would allow the Internet to function as private information system in which wealthy corporations could pay for increased speed and visibility.  Individual voices and small nonprofits such as ART FM would be lost in a deep and distant cyber vortex.

Through this special program, WXOX is waging our Battle for the Net with an informative broadcast outlining the current state of Net Neutrality and the dangers it faces.  Media Advocate Fred Johnson speaks with ART FM Board Member Kyle Anne Citrynell JD to educate our listeners on this very important subject and provide them with useful avenues for getting involved.
