FCC deadline extended
So many of people submitted public comments before Tuesday's deadline that the FCC’s website actually went down because it was so overwhelmed by all the traffic!
In response, the FCC has extended its deadline until Friday.
What you can do, if you haven't already (and thanks to everyone who has already done it!)
Email openinternet@fcc.gov, subject, "Docket number: 14-28 protecting an open internet".
Here is sample text for your email, but try to make it personal, especially if you use the internet to do business or to connect for social group reasons (say cancer support groups! parental groups! whatever!) Tell your own story of how you use the internet in your daily life:
Dear Chairman Wheeler:
As an Internet user who believes strongly in the importance of a free and open Internet, I urge the FCC to reclassify broadband Internet access as a telecommunications service, and save Net Neutrality.
In addition, the FCC should reject the proposed rules that would allow Internet service providers to divide the Internet into fast lanes for wealthy corporations and slow lanes for the rest of us.
Signed,
Your Name
Address, Etc.
