Keep the Net Neutral!

I lost my job four years ago. I was computer illiterate then. I found out immediately how essential computer knowledge and the Information Superhighway are to any job search.
After acquiring my first pc, I learned how to surf the Internet, to train online in MS Office skills so I could make a career change, and I even took a college course online! (I got an 'A'!)
Because I was unemployed during much of this time period, I wouldn't have had the money for the "gatekeeper" services which the telecomms are now trying to impose on us. I wouldn't have had access to the vital training I needed in order to reenter todays' marketplace.
The internet is for everyone! It must not become limited in its availability. Keep the Net neutral!
