Posted September 3, 2014 http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2014/09/02/what-can-we-learn-from-800000-public-comments-on-the-fccs-net-neutrality-plan/ On Aug. 5, the Federal Communications Commission announced the bulk release of the comments from its largest-ever public comment collection. We've spent the last three weeks cleaning and preparing the data and leveraging our experience in machine learning and natural language processing to try and make sense of the hundreds-of-thousands of comments in the docket. Here is a high-level overview, as well as our cleaned version of the full corpus which is available for download in the hopes of making further research easier. Our first exploration uses natural language processing techniques to identify topical keywords within comments and use those keywords to group comments together. We analyzed a corpus of 800,959 comments. Some key findings: We estimate that less than 1 percent of comments were clearly opposed to net neutrality1. At least 60 percent of comments submitted were form letters written by organized campaigns (484,692 comments); while these make up the majority of comments, this is actually a lower percentage than is common for high-volume regulatory dockets. At least 200 comments came from law firms, on behalf of themselves or their clients. The site has an interactive visualization of the comments about NN. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fPvPyc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 3, 2014 "Less than 1% opposed Net Neutrality. " You wanna bet that what the 1% wants will happen anyway... The stone cannot know why the chisel cleaves it; the iron cannot know why the fire scorches it. When thy life is cleft and scorched, when death and despair leap at thee, beat not thy breast and curse thy evil fate, but thank the Builder for the trials that shape thee.

Posted September 3, 2014 The prblem is that we put F**KING TELECOM LOBBYISTS in as FCC Chairmen And so GabeN has told us to march forthith unto the Land of Holy welding our swords of mice, shields of keyboards, and helmets of Oculus Rifts where we shall reclaim it-which is rightfully ours-from the PUNY Console Peasants from whom armed only with mere controllers we shall decimate in all forms of battle and we shall dominate even in their most ridiculous tradition and infatuation of CoD. Yes, my brothers- sisters and trans sexuals too- we shall destroy the inferior of races with our might and majesty. And if any Peasants wish to join us they must speak now or forever perish. -Ancient Speech from a Leader of Old, Book of Murratri section 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 3, 2014 tom wheeler and the fcc know damn well what the public wants with net neutrality. If they were on the side of the public this whole NN problem wouldn't be a problem right now.

Posted September 3, 2014 The prblem is that we put F**KING TELECOM LOBBYISTS in as FCC Chairmen When you say we, you mean the Obama administration. Well, I guess you could say "we" since over half of the country voted him in, AGAIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't believe they did, then again, I don't believe the electoral college should exist either. Ketchup is better than mustard. GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Posted September 3, 2014 Author Google, Microsoft, Wikipedia and Yahoo should throttle connections from the FCC and see how they like it. Or better yet, throttle all their own domains, give the impression of 28.8 (or slower) kbps internet speed. See what that does. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fPvPyc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 3, 2014 So let me get this straight. If this was an election, then 1% would have voted for the high speed lanes, and the other 99% would either have voted against it or been unsure. If we don't get net neutrality from this then the FCC are pure evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 3, 2014 Less than one percent opposes? ISPs and the FCC alike need to get their heads out of their asses. if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

Posted September 3, 2014 I honestly don't believe they did, then again, I don't believe the electoral college should exist either. Agreed, it should be based on majority vote only.

Posted September 4, 2014 When you say we, you mean the Obama administration. Well, I guess you could say "we" since over half of the country voted him in, AGAIN. I say we because it is supposed to be a democracy; even though it could be called an oligarchy. Democratic Oligarchy is about what it is And so GabeN has told us to march forthith unto the Land of Holy welding our swords of mice, shields of keyboards, and helmets of Oculus Rifts where we shall reclaim it-which is rightfully ours-from the PUNY Console Peasants from whom armed only with mere controllers we shall decimate in all forms of battle and we shall dominate even in their most ridiculous tradition and infatuation of CoD.
