NYCwireless has issued a challenge to every company which provides broadband services in NYC to make a public statement supporting the four Network Neutrality principles. Network Neutrality is the concept that network operators provide free and non-discriminatory transport on their networks between the endpoints of the Internet. This has been a basic concept and function of the Internet since it was invented, and is adopted by the FCC in these four principles to ensure that broadband networks are widely deployed, open, affordable, and accessible to all consumers:

•Consumers are entitled to access the lawful Internet content of their choice
•Consumers are entitled to run applications and services of their choice, subject to the needs of law enforcement
•Consumers are entitled to connect their choice of legal devices that do not harm the network
•Consumers are entitled to competition among network providers, application and service providers, and content providers

NYCwireless will maintain a scorecard showing which companies have chosen to publicly embrace these principles.
