It is now well known that the FCC’s Open Internet docket is the most commented upon rulemaking in the agency’s history, with more than 3.9 million submissions to date filed both through our Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS), our dedicated openinternet@fcc.gov email address, and via the additional option of Comma Separated Values (CSV) files. Regardless of the method through which a comment was filed, every comment submitted has been made part of the official record of this proceeding.
The comments are being made available at the website, which is good, but nowhere in this lawyer's release does it say that they are actually being read by the FCC. I'm hoping an activist group spends some time and goes through them. Don't let them say "We received some in favor and some against, and made them all available. What's the problem?" The problem, of course, is that we need to be ready with the actual totals to point out there weren't just some on each side: "One side had 3.8999999999999 million. The other side had three e-mails."
