Wilton, Conn. - The Entertainment Consumers Association (ECA), a non-profit that represents video game enthusiasts, said on Tuesday that it has launched a Web-based initiative called Gamers for Net Neutrality. The ECA and its partners in the initiative -- SavetheInternet.com and Games for Change -- said the site aims to inform gamers about the issue. "Why let the telecom giants dictate what speed we play our games, view our video, or listen to music?" said Suzanne Seggerman, president and co-founder of Games for Change. "Gamers, as one of the largest audiences on the internet, need to act now -- before it's too late."
