A new public letter signed by 30 business investors in technology companies was sent today to the Chairman of the FCC and released by the Open Internet Coalition.    Prominent venture capitalists --including five of the top ten ranked investors on the 2009 Forbes Magazine “Midas List” – support “the Commission’s ongoing efforts to adopt rules to safeguard the open Internet.”  These investors and entrepreneurs back openness rules across all Internet networks, both wired and wireless, to drive “investment, job creation, and consumer welfare.”
