> Which means the people don't really have a say in the matter. Remember that time when the FCC made available for public comment new rules regarding internet fast lanes? Remember when, after receiving so many comments that their database crashed, they decided that it might not be a good idea? > Once new FCC powers are in place, do you actually think we have a chance at getting rid of them? History says no. Well, considering broadband was once under the purview of Title II and now is not and now the FCC is considering it again.... how much of a grasp do you have on history? > "Also today, FCC commissioners Ajit Pai and Michael O'Rielly too asked for Wheeler to release the proposal to the public and postpone the Thursday vote to allow for 30 days of public comment." Well, good for them. Unfortunately, that's not how commissions work. The commission votes to release a proposal for comment. If that vote passes, it's released for comment. They then vote on whether to enact it based on comment, or revise the proposal and then vote again on whether or not to release it for public comment. FCC rule proposals are not enacted without a public comment period.
