The first line of defense is simply to up-vote posts like this on HN and Reddit, as well as posting to Twitter and Facebook. The more people who know about it, the more fuss we create. I know that's not much, but it's how we've beaten greedy initiatives like this in the past (SOPA).
I agree with you though, if it were made dead simple to contribute in some way towards an initiative against this specific bill and others like it, I'd of course donate.
- djchen 13y agoPeople also need to vote with their dollars. I understand thats only part of it but its a necessary part. Look at what T-Mobile has done for wireless plans, if more people switched to them for example, I'm sure AT&T/VZW/Sprint will wake up and start offering better pricing/plans. It won't fix the issue, that boils down the law makers need to make the landscape more competitive and easier to compete in. But at least it helps in the short term.
- sn0v 13y agoI've been waiting to switch to T-Mo for months now, but they've got incredibly poor reception in my (urban) area. And I'm not talking 4G, I'm talking about basic calling/texting.
- kristopolous 13y agoMe too. But I'd rather have poor cell phone coverage than personally fund AT&T or Verizon.
- sn0v 13y agoI've been wanting to support T-Mo as well. Unfortunately, being accessible on the phone is highly important to me :/
