Should Congress regulate your Internet service plan?

June 23-2009:

I Support The Bill (H.R. 2902) That Will Review/Regulate Internet Pricing!
 
Dear Senator/Congressperson,

I agree that some legislation MUST be put in place to prevent greed, and arbitrary increases of charges to customers, for their much needed Internet Connection and usage.

I also believe that Internet Service Providers MUST improve, with Fiber Optic Technology (if they do not yet have it), to allow for more efficiency, speedy transmission, and for greater consumer satisfaction.

This is the technology currently being used in Japan, and other developed and developing countries.

And with Fiber Optics Speed, more consumers will be encouraged to use the Internet, as another medium of communication, and business.

Also, File Transfers, Video Uploading and Sharing are a few of the PRIMARY aspects of Internet use, especially for the young and Internet savvy.

Sincerely,

Should Congress regulate your Internet service plan?

Internet providers who charge customers by how much they use would have to justify their prices to federal regulators under a bill introduced last week. 
 
Freshman Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) filed the bill after some providers tested plans to charge customers more if they download video or otherwise use a lot of bandwidth. The companies argue that the increasing popularity of online video is taxing their ability to provide Internet service and that increased regulation could lead to higher prices for other customers. 
 
The bill, H.R. 2902, would allow the Federal Trade Commission to review whether the pricing plans are fair.

Do you think federal regulators should review Internet pricing plans?
