The rules prohibit high-speed internet service providers, or I.S.P.s, from stopping or slowing down the delivery of websites. They also prevent the companies from charging customers extra fees for high-quality streaming and other services.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement set off a fight over free speech and the control of the internet, pitting telecom titans like AT&amp;T and Verizon against internet giants like Google and Amazon. The internet companies warned that rolling back the rules could make the telecom companies powerful gatekeepers to information and entertainment. The telecom companies say that the existing rules prevent them from offering customers a wider selection of services at higher and lower price points.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">FIGHT for Net Neutrality!! <strong>RESIST<\/strong>!!<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\"><strong>Cartoon<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"1122Cartoon\" style=\"border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"1122Cartoon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.7thstep.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/1122Cartoon.jpg\" width=\"650\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a major mess today.&#160; Safeway&#8217;s computer system is dawn, so my grocery delivery from Safeway.com, which was supposed to be here by now, has been indefinitely delayed.&#160; I have to wait up until they arrive, which means I get no rest&#160; How frustrating!&#160; Wendy will be here this evening.
