FCC's net neutrality inbox is already stuffed with 647k messages

[Snickerzz]

The FCC's controversial plans for a new version of net neutrality are still open for public comment for a few more days, and Chairman Tom Wheeler says it's already received over 647,000 comments so far. The 60 day period for public comment runs out on the 15th though, so if you want your voice to be heard then about fast lanes, Title II or anything else, then now is the time. The internet may not have crashed the FCC's website -- hackers did that -- but it can still have an effect on the way we connect in the future. Read the FCC's proposal here, and send your comments in via openinternet@fcc.gov.

 

 

Imagine having to go through all of those comments O_O

I believe this is a conservative and accurate estimate: fucking 0.

We don't know yet, but I hope they open up their damn ears to our screams. I can only hope.

"according to the number of comments, 1/5 of 1% of america is for net neutrality, so more than 99% is against it."

"according to the number of comments, 1/5 of 1% of america is for net neutrality, so more than 99% is against it."

 

So this means that 99% are against net neutrality?  In that 99% of people are against equal treatment of Internet content through ISP's?  In other words, 99% of people are OK with having Netflix throttled while pro-corporation propaganda is delivered without a hitch?

 

Oh, ok.

They will look at the comments which benefit them and watch how they twist it so it looks like they are getting support from the people.

It's an easy way to spin the situation into absurdo land.

How about we all stop holding America back 20 years and accept Google Fiber with no "controlled lanes".
