Earlier this summer, we wrote about Stopping the Slow Lane<\/a>, a push back against the\u00a0FCC’s intent to propose rules that would allow Internet service providers to charge websites to access a \u201cfast lane\u201d and slow down every site that doesn\u2019t pay. Now, we’re almost at the deadline. September 15th is the last day that the FCC will accept public comments before they make their ruling. Shapeways submitted a formal appeal to the FCC<\/a>, where we outlined how we support an open internet so we can continue to provide a platform where entrepreneurs like our 19,000 shop owners can flourish.<\/p>\n

Today is an internet-wide day of action for Net Neutrality. You may have noticed some of your favorite sites<\/a> have the “please hold, loading” spinning wheel on their homepage – is this the future you want? Neither do we!<\/p>\n
