I'm aware of that.
The problem is that I had been "corrected" (incorrectly) in a discussion elsewhere when I mentioned there was only the one comment period by someone who stated that there would, in fact be a period after the rules were voted on where there would be a second period to accept comments from the public. I should have looked it up myself, rather than taking the correction at face value.
In fairness to the individual who attempted to correct me, I think he/she was confusing the reconsideration period with a second round of comments. It's a fair and reasonable mistake to make, so with that in mind, I suppose you could correct my initial post to make mention of the reconsideration period in lieu of what I wrote.
One of the issues I take with some of the pro-net neutrality crowd is that they're willing to vehemently hyper-correct everything, including statements that were not wrong, and due to the insistence of some of the comments I read, I made the mistake of presuming my initial understanding was wrong.
Go figure. It's too late for me to correct my original post, but feel free to use this as an addendum to it. :)
- Zancarius 12y agoFor what it's worth, since no one's bothered to post a link to the actual rule making process, I'll share what I've stumbled on: http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/rulemaking-process-fcc http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/rulemaking-process-fcc As dragonwriter wrote in reply to me--and as you can read above--there's at least 30 days after the rule vote before they become available to allow for analysis and for dissenting petitions to be filed during the reconsideration period. It should be interesting to see what happens at this point.
