A Free and Open Internet

Here's what's going on at the White House today.         DAILY SNAPSHOT Monday, November 10, 2014             Featured A Free and Open Internet The Internet has unlocked possibilities that we could just barely imagine a generation ago. A big reason why we've seen such incredible growth and innovation is "net neutrality" -- the principle that says Internet service providers (ISPs) should treat all Internet traffic equally. That's why, today, President Obama asked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to implement the strongest possible rules to protect net neutrality. The President's plan would reclassify consumer broadband services under what's known as Title II of the Telecommunications Act, and would work to "ensure the network works for everyone -- not just one or two companies." Watch President Obama explain his plan, then read his statement and forward it on.       Top Stories The People's Lawyer: President Obama Nominates Loretta Lynch to Be the Next Attorney General On Saturday, President Obama nominated U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch to replace Eric Holder as the next Attorney General of the United States, or "the people's lawyer."
