support of strong open internet rules.<\/p>\n<p>Shapeways is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/archives\/744-keep-the-internet-neutral-not-neutered.html\">longtime supporter<\/a> of <a href=\"http:\/\/whatisnetneutrality.org\/\">net neutrality<\/a>, and was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/archives\/2539-shapeways-supports-net-neutrality-stop-the-slow-lane.html\">very involved<\/a> with the FCC\u2019s most recent review of net neutrality rules.\u00a0 We were excited that the FCC approved strong rules earlier this year.\u00a0 As expected, net neutrality opponents have challenges these rules in court.<\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"http:\/\/engine.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/Engine-Net-Neutrality-Amicus-Brief.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">brief<\/a>\u00a0explains why net neutrality is so important to Shapeways.\u00a0 We rely on an open internet to be able to bring 3D printing to the entire internet, not just the internet served by ISPs that decide to approve us.\u00a0 One of the great things about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/sell\">opening a Shapeways shop<\/a> is that a single shop can connect with anyone, anywhere with an internet connection.\u00a0 Anyone can build a great app <a href=\"http:\/\/developers.shapeways.com\/\">on top of our APIs<\/a> without having to negotiate individual access deals with ISPs across the country.<\/p>\n<p>The case itself will be argued on December 4<sup>th<\/sup> in Washington, DC.\u00a0 We are doing everything we can to make sure that the court understands how important the rules are to everyone who relies on an open internet both before and after that day.<\/p>\n<p>If you want more information, or to track developments in net neutrality more closely, our friends at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/engine.is\/\">Engine<\/a> and \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.publicknowledge.org\/\">Public Knowledge<\/a> are worth checking out to stay completely up to
