Europeans! Last chance to save Net Neutrality in the EU, call your MEP!

Jérémie Zimmermann sez, "The first conciliation meeting on the Telecoms Package will take place tonight at 9:30PM. In this meeting, 27 Members of the European Parliament will decide on the future of Internet in Europe. They will choose whether to fix or maintain the dreadful anti-Net neutrality dispositions voted in second reading by the Parliament, under the influence of AT&T. Rapporteurs and representatives of the Swedish Presidency opposed this idea so far. European citizens only have a few hours to urge MEPs to preserve Europe's innovation, competition, and citizen's fundamental rights."

Act now to save Net neutrality! (Thanks, Jérémie!)

No no no, the appropriate time to resolve this issue is at the text fisheries council meeting.

Done. But quite a job, because there are no Irish or UK MEPs listed as involved.

Had to write to Swedes and Spanish, French and Begians, Hungarians and Italians.

Hope they get it in time, and hope I'm not the only reader of Boing Boing who did this.

Oh. Just me then, eh?

Well, you'll have me to thank when it doesn't go through.

I like chocolates

Last chance, eh? I guess we'll never be hearing about this issue again, then?
