About Us
Fair Internet Oregon is a growing statewide coalition focused on one thing: leveling the playing field so every Oregonian has access to fast, reliable internet — like high-speed fiber — at a fair price.
We’re working to eliminate inconsistent and unfair tax policies on internet service — like Salem’s 7% tax on new providers — that are applied unequally, drive up costs, and hold families and communities back. These policies stifle competition, deepen inequality, and make it harder for people across Oregon to get and stay connected.
By modernizing these rules and applying them fairly to all providers, we can expand access, increase provider options, and lower monthly bills — building a digital future where every household, school, first responder, healthcare provider, small business, and rural community can connect, compete, and thrive.

We believe:
Internet access is a basic necessity — like electricity or clean water — and every Oregonian deserves fast, reliable service, no matter their ZIP code.
Fair rules create better outcomes. When all internet providers are treated equally, we get more competition, better service, and lower costs for families and businesses.
Outdated policies shouldn’t block progress. It's time to modernize local tax systems so they support innovation, investment, and digital equity across Oregon.
As a coalition member of Fair Internet Oregon, I support efforts to make better, faster internet access more affordable, fair, and competitive across the state.
