Net Neutral Comment Period Extended

The FCC reports:

FCC EXTENDS OPEN INTERNET COMMENT PERIOD UNTIL FRIDAY, JULY 18 AT MIDNIGHT

Washington, D.C. – The following statement can be attributed to FCC Press Secretary, Kim Hart:

“The deadline for filing submissions as part of the first round of public comments in the FCC’s Open Internet proceeding arrived today. Not surprisingly, we have seen an overwhelming surge in traffic on our website that is making it difficult for many people to file comments through our Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS). 

Please be assured that the Commission is aware of these issues and is committed to making sure that everyone trying to submit comments will have their views entered into the record.

Accordingly, we are extending the comment deadline until midnight Friday, July 18. 

You also have the option of emailing your comments to 

openinternet@fcc.gov 

and your views will be placed in the public record.
