ISPs are engaged in a last gasp effort to scuttle California’s looming net neutrality law, including a zero hour request for employees to lend a hand. Last week the law, SB822, was passed by both the California Assembly and the Senate after massive public pressure. It currently awaits signature by California Governor Jerry Brown.

ISPs had attempted to scuttle the bill’s passage via a cavalcade of underhanded lobbying shenanigans, ranging from efforts to strip away its most important components in committee, to ISP-backed robocalls aimed at senior citizens falsely informing them the bill would raise their phone bills. With those efforts failing to gain traction in activist-heavy California, ISPs like Frontier Communications have now taken to begging their employees to oppose the law. An email by Frontier to its employees obtained by Motherboard urges workers to contact Governor Brown and demand he veto SB822, which the company claims would “disrupt the incredibly successful Internet system that fuels business, innovation and economic growth in California.”
