Three consumer groups repeated their calls for a U.S. law to prevent broadband providers from blocking or slowing 
customer access to some Internet content by saying the public wants government protection.

In a survey released Wednesday, more than two-thirds of respondents said the large telecommunications and cable 
companies offering broadband services should adhere to so-called network neutrality principles, which would guarantee 
that broadband users can go to any legal Web sites they want and run any Internet applications they want.

Without strong consumer protections, the openly accessible Internet is in danger with few broadband provider options 
available to most people, the consumer groups said.
