NYC wireless is challanging all companies that provide broadband internet services in the city of New York to support the 4 Network Neutrality priniciples. NYC wireless is a non-profit organization that supports the growth of free wireless internet access in and around the city of New York.

“Network Neutrality is the concept that network operators provide free and non-discriminatory transport on their networks between the endpoints of the Internet. This has been a basic concept and function of the Internet since it was invented, and is adopted by the FCC in these four principles to ensure that broadband networks are widely deployed, open, affordable, and accessible to all consumers: .

1. Consumers are entitled to access the lawful Internet content of their choice;
2. Consumers are entitled to run applications and services of their choice, subject to the needs of law enforcement;
3. Consumers are entitled to connect their choice of legal devices that do not harm the network; and
4. Consumers are entitled to competition among network providers, application and service providers, and content providers.”[Source]

“Every provider should include a web page with their public statement on their own websites. We suggest that the URL to find a provider’s stance on Network Neutrality be made available to the Internet community”[Source]

The NYC wireless has built free wireless technology over the past years in New York City public parks and other open spaces, along with local park organizations such as the Bryant Park Restoration Corporation.

If you are a wireless broadband provider in the city of New York, and wish to make a public statement supporting the 4 Network Neutrality principles, add a webpage in your website. Create a page called neutral.html on your website.

To submit statements send an email to neutral@nycwireless.net.
