Time Warner was shot down last week. They were trying to charge customers for EACH WEBSITE they visit, calling it 'Excessive Internet Usage". And they are not the only cable company or business that want to charge us not only a monthly fee for internet connections, they also want to add, on top of that monthly charge, a charge per site or session, or to put us on some sort of meter, like the electric meter or water meter, and charge us for using it as well as for connecting to it monthly.

Luckily, there are activists out there fighting against this. But they don't have the money and contacts and resources that these Big Corporate companies do, and if we don't get involved and tell our Representatives that we will not tolerate this, they will eventually win the right to milk us dry some more. Save The Internet.com is one of the most powerful and active groups trying to stop this. They're also connected to groups calling for a complete reform of the media.

Just check out their website, find out what's going on - be aware, be informed. You don't have to do anything nor spend any money, tho you certainly can if so moved. Even if you never so much as sign a petition, at least you'll KNOW, they won't be pulling the wool over your eyes.
