UPDATE: CRAIG FROM CRAIGSLIST ENDORSES THIS IDEA! (See recent news)

The U.S. has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to revolutionize Internet access. Innovators want to create a new national high-speed wireless market--with Internet signals beaming to every park bench, coffee shop, workplace, and home in America.

But anti-competitive phone and cable companies like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast are trying to kill this idea. They don't want a national wireless Internet market to compete with their current phone and cable-based Internet service. They'd rather buy the airwaves at an upcoming auction and then sit on them...like an oil company that sits on rights to a clean-energy engine, blatantly preventing progress.

The FCC has the power to stop this--and create a new national wireless market, where competition and innovation can thrive. We are on the side of market competition - AT&T and Verizon oppose it, they want monopoly.

SIGN THE PETITION TO THE FCC:
