While most of us have been busy scurrying from store to store for last minute gifts or traveling home for the holidays this week, a few brave souls have been duking it out on our behalf in the name of keeping the Internet as free and as open a commodity as possible. Among the many geek and tech industry notables to take the stand and address the FCC as they explore the future of Net Neutrality, was Steve Wozniak, who argued in favor of an open Internet, free of the meddling hands and tiered pricing plans that many Internet Service Providers are wont to indulge in.
Wozniak praised the FCC for its efforts to ensure that the Internet remains an open, accessible realm of free expression but was quick to chide them for not applying the same standards to wireless broadband providers. In addition to his submission to the FCC, The Woz has also submitted an open letter to the Atlantic, in which he speaks of his views on the topic of Net Neutrality at length.
