This is an Open letter sent to John McCain. In respounce to his “THE INTERNET FREEDOM ACT OF 2009”

'The Internet Freedom Act of 2009' is giving the people's Freedom over to the ISP's who in turn will make one of the most important resources of the 21st century over to the people would would make monopoly's for there own greed.

I do not know who has miss informed you But Is not the John McCain I voted for.

Its time to put an end to the one or two players that are simply ripping off the consumer and providing substandard access to the Internet. We don 't want the Internet to become just another broadcast media like TV. None the less this is the direction the Internet is headed.

You will never build a public forum when people like Verizon and Comcast can throw a bag over peoples head and shut them up. That's not Freedom. its censorship and it Deny's our first amendment. Do you think the founding fathers would have allowed this sort of this sort oft thing in the town square? The smart answer is "No". And where is the town square in the 21st century it is none other then the Internet.

So don't call it Freedom. When its actual censorship and denial of our first amendment rights.

The thing that needs to be done is to open up the bandwidth for wireless roof top devices that use the power of the network designed for cold war stile failures and self correction. Yes that is the DEARPA TCP/IP Internet we are using today.

Give the last mile back to the people. We are better off buying cellphones rather then renting them through a so called service plan.

We can run the wireless infrastructure for the last mile our selves. With wireless routers that can transmit 5 to ten miles from roof to roof. This grid of connections is exactly the sort of thing the Arpa designers had in mind.

What needs to happen is for the FCC to simply define the correct protocols to the hardware producers and we will buy it. This should have started in 1994, but AT&T put a stop to Apple computers petition to the FCC.

Its time to reverse that and give the Internet back to the people of this great country. This in turn will allow local ISP's to better compete for connection to the back bone of the Internet. With 100s of ISP's in an area, not just two. If the Big boys can't play in this level field to provide a backbone to the new ISP's, then perhaps the government will at that point need to step in and like the highway system build the Internet backbone.

I would personal find it hard for the players like AT&T to give up maintaining the backbone. rather then roll over dead. And let others like Google do it.

So don't lie to the people, what you proposed is not the peoples Freedom. Oh and much of the network infrastructure you talk about was payed for my the government. in the form of tax breaks. Given to build the last mile. But it seems most of that funding was not to provide the best possible solutions for the people. But rather to build the Monopoly's that exist today.
