There are some very good ones... of course there are some "Me no likey" comments and some "HULK MAD!" ones. Overall though, I'm surprised at the sheer number of these. If you need context... please waste 13 minutes and watch this, John poliver probably described it in the best terms understandable by cretins, old guys, non-techies and people like us, ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpbOEoRrHyU Remember DO IT Please Ashton do your bestest. rcareaga please carry on. crazy, yeah diatribes welcome. Yes even boxley, just friggin do it. Anyone else I've not mentioned... that are in the USofA ('Murica... YEAJ!) I expect you all to comment. Pretty please with powered alcohol on it?

Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov

Here's my submission (at the moment): While I recognize the constraints the FCC is under given the recent court rulings, I feel it is vital that you construct rules going forward that maximize the non-discriminatory transmission of information. Companies that own choke-points in the internet (e.g. the last mile) and operate as a near-monopoly must not be permitted to be gate-keepers or toll-collectors. And no, something like a consent decree that prohibits mopolistic toll-collecting for 1-10 years is not sufficient. The internet must be nondiscriminatory going forward, not just for some limited time. If all of these things mean that broadband must be classified as a public utility, then do so. Do not permit a few loudmouths in Congress to bully you from doing your job to serve the public interest (now and in the future). I appreciate the difficulty you face. Choose well. Cheers, Scott.
