A new poll from Paychex found that nearly half (44%) of all business owners believe that the FCC’s repeal of net neutrality protections will have a negative impact on their business.
The senate is considering a congressional review act (CRA) to reverse the FCC’s decision, and we only need one more vote to pass it and move it on to the House of Representatives where it already enjoys 160 co-sponsors.
Lawmakers listen to small businesses, so if you are a business owner opposed to the net neutrality repeal, join the thousands of other business owners and by signing on to the OPEN LETTER at BusinessesForNetNeutrality.com
A loss of net neutrality will have a significant negative impact on small businesses of all kinds -- not just affect tech companies. Restaurants rely on online food orders and review sites to find customers, massage therapists book their appointments on the web, even modern farming equipment relies on a free and open Internet. Killing net neutrality amounts to a tax on the entire economy for the benefit for a few giant monopolies like Verizon and Comcast.
