It honestly doesn't matter. Nobody at the FCC is going to read these things - it's there because it has to be there, not because they intend on listening.<p>They've set their agenda, now they're executing it. They have absolutely no plans on listening to anyone along the way. Nobody in this entire administration does.
Comments the say the same thing just count for a single comment ... and they don't count up. This isn't a vote. The FCC is a regulator. The government calls the shots. Misusing the comment process as a sort of virtual petition could in theory influence the government but there has to be a better way to do this sort of thing.
The URL syntax to search comments for the docket in question is straightforward, in case you felt the desire to check on the quickness of the dead:

I never understood Americans' obsession of having the government control ISPs. Like, I'm sure most of people here are liberals who hate Trump. Do you seriously want the Trump administration having the means to control the way ISPs deliver content? Take it from somebody living in Russia, you really don't want that.
So, my ashamedly limited historical understanding of this, brought to me by John Oliver, is that the FCC was assumed to have the powers of the whole Title II thing prior to losing a court case.. Is this the case?<p>If that's the case, Pai's rationalization is very hand-wavy.
The fact that big tech companies like Facebook support net neutrality actually makes me consider not supporting it. I just don't trust Facebook's motives - What I do trust is their ability and willingness to screw over society in order to maximise profits.
Wow incredible.<p>Who would have thought the first time humanity would see large scale resurrections of the dead would be so that the corpses could post internet comments about how much they hate the idea of net neutrality and show their support and love for monopolies?<p>Simply amazing, I knew people would be passionate about net neutrality but I wouldn't have guessed it was powerful enough to resurrect the lifeless.<p>Do you think they will start using this technique in medicine soon? In the ER or hospitals? Imagine the amazing sequence of events:<p>"We're losing him, we're losing him... he just has no more will to live"<p>'No wait, give me that laptop.'<p>"He's dead, flatlined"<p>'SIR, SIR, HOW MUCH DO YOU HATE NET NEUTRALITY'<p>... grumble grumble.... beep beep beep beep<p>"Incredible! We have a pulse again!"<p>'SIR, DO YOU LOVE MONOPOLIES, YOU MUST COMMENT ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS, HERE TAKE THIS LAPTOP'<p>... beep beep beep beep beep beep beep .....<p>"I... am ... I do.... I do love... I.... I DO LOVE MONOPOLIES, I.... I DO HATE NET NEUTRALITY.... FINALLY... A REASON TO LIVE!! GIVE ME THAT LAPTOP NOW!!!!"<p>'It's a medical miracle!!!!!!'
