Let them dispute that. Net neutrality is important to a community still suffering from a digital divide. Let them dispute that in an open forum.

“All three groups also said that funding from telecommunications or technology companies was not a motivation for their stance against net neutrality regulations.”

Comcast, Time Warner and the likes are paying them $$$. Take a look for yourself and please never post anything ever again. You're making the internet a worse place.

The national black chamber of Commerce also doesn't believe climate change is valid. Harry Alford, the CEO, received money from ExxonMobil for that belief.

While some may question their sincerity and motivations, I’m thrilled to see our community leaders and local officials starting to step up to the plate to represent our interests. I don’t recall a time in recent history when so many minority elected officials and chambers of commerce took an affirmative stand on telecommunications policies that affect our communities, and yet they are probably best suited to address the issues that plague our communities. The momentum that these coalitions of minority officials have generated over the past few weeks will hopefully continue well into the future. For far too long, the interests of our communities have been dictated by outsiders and it really is time for us to take a stand.
