Genuine question: what are some ways in which we can usefully contribute? Seems like there's not a whole lot of options there... Especially for non-US people (because right or wrong, a lot of countries tend to follow in the footsteps of the US. If Net Neutrality officially dies there, it won't be long before it dies in many other places in the world.)
I agree tweetstorms will probably result in a few articles and that'd be that...
I’m switching my cellphone from Verizon to Credo. (Due to Verizon’s successful lobbying campaign for this and other, related moves by the FCC).
Credo uses Verizon as its underlying network, for better, or worse. I know exactly what coverage to expect, and I’ll be feeding less money to the beast.
(Credo is a politically-active progressive company, with a good privacy policy and warrant transparency. Verizon has historically been none of these things, other than “politically active”).
Also, I don’t have decent sonic.net or unwired ltd coverage at the house, but if you are in the SF Bay Area, it’s worth taking a look at them (instead of comcast/at&t).
I used sonic.net. They advertised (and still do) $40/mo internet, but turned out it's $40 plus phone taxes (they sell only internet+phone, no option to decouple) + equipment rental + other stuff, so first it was $55/mo and then they raised it to $65/mo - 2/3 higher than their advertised price. I switched to other provider as soon as my contract lock-in expired. Oh yes, and they dinged me for another month as a parting gesture, because apparently you can't just cancel with them as with other providers, you have to wait a month to be able to cancel. Nope, thanks, never again. I've heard a lot of horror stories about comcast/at&t, but neither of them tried pull such tricks on me.
