Many of you, in the U.S. and elsewhere, have been following the U.S. primary elections this week. We’ve joined with a diverse range of Internet freedom groups to call on candidates from all the parties to outline how they’d ensure affordable, high-speed Internet access for all. The full letter can be found here.
