The FCC is now accepting public comments on this proposal. The current comment period was supposed to end on Tuesday, but the public was commenting in such large numbers that the FCC’s website couldn’t handle all the traffic.

To accommodate this record-breaking interest in submitting comments, the FCC has now extended the deadline to this Friday. We need to make sure Chairman Wheeler and the rest of the FCC commissioners continue to feel overwhelming pressure from the public to take the necessary step of reclassifying the Internet as a public utility.

Net Neutrality is important because the Internet is an essential service Americans rely on to conduct our most basic daily affairs, from applying for a job to finding a home, to running a small business. And our right to communicate freely and be heard lies at the heart of our ability to participate equally in our democracy.

A string of federal court cases has made it abundantly clear that the FCC has the power to enforce strong Net Neutrality rules, but only if the FCC goes through the process of undoing a terrible Bush-era decision to deregulate broadband instead of treating it like the vital public utility it has become.

1. It won't matter.

There are apparently thousands of public comments so far and each will be ignored.

2. Yes, by all means, let's do nothing.

3. The public comments are a mere formality.

Nobody would dare cross the corporate interests. This "free Internet" thing has gone on too long.
