The Internet Freedom Declaration: Setting the Agenda for 2007

January 17th, 2007 by tkarr

Last week in Memphis, the SavetheInternet.com Coalition unveiled the “Internet Freedom Declaration of 2007,” our plan to make a faster, more open and accessible Internet for all Americans.

Prior to it’s unveiling, several founding members of the Coalition signed on to the Declaration, including Free Press, Consumers Federation of America, Moveon.org Civic Action, Consumers Union, Public Knowledge, Common Cause, US Pirg/State Pirgs, United Church of Christ, Media Access Project, Afro-Netizen, Educause, Benton Foundation, Center for Creative Voices in Media, Internet2 and Democracy for America.

While Net Neutrality forms the foundation of the Declaration, the plan goes much further, setting forth a broader, more inclusive public agenda for the future of the Internet.

This agenda is built around three fundamental “Internet rights”: 1. Universal, Affordable Access; 2. An Open and Neutral Network; and 3. World Class Quality through Competition.

As the SavetheInternet Coalition gets to work with the new Congress, we plan to marry these principles to a broad grassroots campaign for legislation that fosters a communications infrastructure that better serves the common good.

>> Read the Declaration and join us for action in 2007.
