Today&#8217;s national broadband day of action is calling attention to the need for affordable, high-speed access to an open Internet, in communities of all sizes. New Mexico lawmakers sent a letter to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) this month in support of extending the existing Universal Service Fund rules and resources to broadband.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a &#8220;Show Your Love for Broadband&#8221; event coming up at noon today in Albuquerque&#8217;s South Valley. Organizer Andrea Quijada, who is executive director with the <em>New Mexico Media Literacy Project<\/em>, says the message is simple.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What we&#8217;re saying is, we want broadband to be accessible for everyone, and we want Internet freedom; we don&#8217;t want any roadblocks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Quijada says there are many communities in New Mexico that have outgrown their old dial-up modems but don&#8217;t yet have affordable broadband options, including some parts of the Duke City.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are areas of Albuquerque where some Internet providers will only provide dial-up and do not provide broadband. And we know, given what is taking place on the Internet now, dial-up is insufficient.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Amalia Deloney, coordinator for the <em>Media Action Grassroots Network (MAG-net)<\/em> says an open Internet with guaranteed network neutrality is essential to ensure that every idea has a chance to be communicated.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s whether it&#8217;s about small business development, whether it&#8217;s artists being able to exchange music online, whether it&#8217;s immigrant communities who need to be able to access Skype to be able to have conversations with communities back in their countries of origin.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Making &#8220;net neutrality&#8221; the rule would prevent Internet providers from blocking or slowing down certain kinds of online content in favor of others. Providers such as Comcast argue that they should have the power to operate their networks however they see fit, but the FCC claims it has broad jurisdiction over many forms of interstate communication, including the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s event is at the South Valley Economic Development Center at noon.<\/p>\n<p>More information is available at <a href=\"http:\/\/pitch.pe\/44969\">pitch.pe\/44969<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"article\">\n<h1>Deprimidos con el internet por v\u00eda telef\u00f3nica, grupos abogan por banda ancha y neutralidad en la red\t<\/h1>\n<div id=\"inset\">\n<p id=\"player\"><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.publicnewsservice.org\/files\/mp3player.swf\" style=\"\" id=\"line\" name=\"line\" quality=\"high\" flashvars=\"file=http:\/\/www.publicnewsservice.org\/mp3.php?f=rss-12712-2.mp3&amp;repeat=false&amp;showdigits=false&amp;showdownload=true\" height=\"20\" width=\"160\"><\/embed><\/p>\n<p> \t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tvar s3 = new SWFObject(\"http:\/\/www.publicnewsservice.org\/files\/mp3player.swf\", \"line\", \"160\", \"20\",  \t\t \t\t\"7\"); \t\ts3.addVariable(\"file\",\"http:\/\/www.publicnewsservice.org\/mp3.php?f=rss-12712-2.mp3\"); \t\ts3.addVariable(\"repeat\",\"false\"); \t\ts3.addVariable(\"showdigits\",\"false\"); \t\ts3.addVariable(\"showdownload\",\"true\"); \t\ts3.write(\"player\"); \t\t<\/script><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.publicnewsservice.org\/index.php?\/content\/state\/NM\"> Public News Service  &#8211; NM<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.publicnewsservice.org\/index.php?\/content\/archives\/2010\/2\/\">February 2010<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.publicnewsservice.org\/index.php?\/content\/cat\/C1\/\">Arts &amp; Culture<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.publicnewsservice.org\/index.php?\/content\/cat\/C3\/\">Budget Policy &amp; Priorities<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.publicnewsservice.org\/index.php?\/content\/cat\/C6\/\">Community Issues<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.publicnewsservice.org\/index.php?\/content\/cat\/C7\/\">Consumer Issues<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.publicnewsservice.org\/index.php?\/content\/cat\/C53\/\">Cultural Resources<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.publicnewsservice.org\/index.php?\/content\/cat\/C46\/\">Immigrant Issues<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.publicnewsservice.org\/index.php?\/content\/cat\/C29\/\">Social Justice<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.publicnewsservice.org\/mp3.php?f=rss-12712-2.mp3\">Download audio<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.publicnewsservice.org\/print.php?key=12712-2\">Print this article<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.publicnewsservice.org\/emailArticle.php?key=12712-2\">Email This article<\/a><\/li>\n<p><!--select * from Category,diggCategories where Category.CategoryID=diggCategories.CategoryID and StoryGroupID=12712 and StoryID=2--><a href=\"http:\/\/digg.com\/submit?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.publicnewsservice.org%2Findex.php%3F%2Fcontent%2Farticle%2F12712-2&amp;title=Deprimidos+con+el+internet+por+v%26%23237%3Ba+telef%26%23243%3Bnica%2C+grupos+abogan+por+banda+ancha+y+neutralidad+en+la+red%09&amp;topic=arts_culture&amp;bodytext=Albuquerque-+Grupos+de+Nuevo+M%26%23233%3Bxico+y+todo+el+pa%26%23237%3Bs+est%26%23225%3Bn+haciendo+un+llamado+hoy+%28lunes%29+por++un+d%26%23237%3Ba+de+acci%26%23243%3Bn+para+traer+atenci%26%23243%3Bn+a+la+necesidad+del+acceso+al+internet+de+banda+ancha%2C+de+costo+accesible+y+abierto.+Amalia+Deloney%2C+coordinadora+para+el+grupo+Media+Action+Grassroots+Network+%28MAGnet%29+y+Andrea+Quijada%2C+Directora+Ejecutiva+del+grupo+New+Mexico+Media+Lit\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.publicnewsservice.org\/images\/digg.gif\" \/><\/a><\/ul>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h6>February 15, 2010<\/h6>\n<p>ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. &#8211; La Delegaci\u00f3n Congresista de Nuevo M\u00e9xico dice que est\u00e1n de a cuerdo con muchos residentes de Nuevo M\u00e9xico que se encuentran deprimidos con el internet por v\u00eda telef\u00f3nica. Ese es uno de los mensajes de hoy en el d\u00eda de acci\u00f3n nacional por el internet de banda ancha \u2013 con el prop\u00f3sito de hacer un llamado de atenci\u00f3n hacia la necesidad del acceso a internet de banda ancha econ\u00f3mico y abierto en todo tipo de comunidades. Hay un evento planeado llamado &#8220;Demuestra tu amor por la banda ancha&#8221; al medio d\u00eda en el valle sur de Albuquerque, y organizadora Andrea Quijada con el grupo <em>New M\u00e9xico Media Literacy Project<\/em> dice que el mensaje es simple.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lo que estamos diciendo es que queremos el acceso a internet de banda ancha para todos, y que queremos libertad en el internet no queremos topes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Amalia Deloney, coordinadora para el grupo <em>Media Action Grassroots Network (MAGnet)<\/em> dice que un internet abierto con neutralidad en la red garantizada es esencial para asegurar que toda idea tenga la oportunidad de ser comunicada.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ya sea algo sobre el desarrollo de un peque\u00f1o negocio, o artistas compartiendo m\u00fasica en l\u00ednea o ya sean comunidades inmigrantes que necesitan tener acceso al skype para tener conversaciones con otras comunidades en su pa\u00eds de origen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Haciendo de la neutralidad en la red una regla prevendr\u00eda que los proveedores de internet bloqueen o hagan despacio el acceso a ciertos tipos de contenidos en la red.
