This time around, they seem to have taken pains to make the commenting process more difficult. But somebody (John Oliver -mod) made it a little easier by creating http://gofccyourself.com/ - Click 'New Filing' and then fill inxsxc the blanks. The LA Times had an article about how killing net neutrality worked out for the citizens of Portugal: https://tinyurl.com/ya98kvst -or- http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-hiltzik-portugal-internet-20171127-story.html Forbes mag had an analogous article (which links to a humorous video) recently: https://tinyurl.com/y9uqx6s4 -or- https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevensalzberg/2017/11/26/when-the-fcc-kills-net-neutrality-heres-what-your-internet-will-look-like/#37985aa84c68 -- Pete Cresswell ***** Moderator's Note ***** The video that Forbes links to is from John Oliver's "Last Week Tonight" show, and he calls on his viewers to use the "+Express" option when they visit http://gofccyourself.com/ . I used "+Express" to file /my/ comments, and I suspect it's less involved, but whichever you prefer, PLEASE file an objection!
