So Bert is still counting "votes," oblivious about the reality that this IS NOT
about ending Net Neutrality, but rather about the best way to regulate it "in
the public interest."

WAAAYYY more important things to worry about, eh? You'd really have to have
been drinking the kool aid to wonder which direction the vast majority of
commenters want to go. There are also several hundred comments posted just as
reader comments to the blog, in case anyone has any doubt.
Naturally, the special interests, those on the take, and the few paranoid
yahoos, will favor a non-neutral Internet.

Source: Net Neutrality Comment Total Will Grow
FCC not done posting comments that made Aug. 30 deadline
By John Eggerton
The FCC has not finished posting all the comments to its network neutrality
docket that were filed by the Aug. 30 deadline, according to an FCC source
speaking on background.
That means the comment total could potentially push past 22 million.
It will be hard to figure out exactly how many comments were filed by the
deadline since the FCC is at the same time posting comments that have come in
in the two days since the deadline.
The FCC will continue to collect and post those comments, but only those
filed before Aug. 30 are part of the official record the commission has to
consider as it makes the decision on whether to roll back Title II
classification of internet access providers and reconsider the rules against
blocking, throttling and paid prioritization.
In that Restoring Internet Freedom proposal, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai is also
proposing to scrap the general conduct standard, which the previous chairman,
Tom Wheeler, said was necessary so that the FCC could deal on a case-by-case
basis with potential impediments to net neutrality that did not fall within
those "bright-line" rules.
At press time, the docket had 21,879,946 comments.
