Engine, Y Combinator, and Techstars have organized a collection of 800 startups, innovators, investors, and entrepreneurial support organizations from all 50 states to take a stand against those thinking about dismantling net neutrality and the laws that protect it. The letter, which includes the names of the 800 organizations involved, is addressed to the FCC. The letter goes on to detail the importance of net neutrality to the entrepreneurial process, particularly the fact that an open internet would open the doors to a wide range of problematic business behaviors. It adamantly advocates for net neutrality, saying that businesses shouldn’t be forced to pay tolls in order to compete, particularly in a capitalist society like this one. If you’re interested in showing your support for this movement, you can sign the letter here. And if you don’t think net neutrality is going to help your business thrive, think again.
