I also think it's a great way to get those people engaged who might not otherwise seek out how to file their own comments. However, I do want to say that nothing beats filling up the FCC's inbox and letting them know how important this issue is to the public. Of the thousands of comments left on Google's page, only a handful will be sent to the FCC. Now if those thousands of people would just go to the FCC's website and post. http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs/Upload?hot_docket=1012001350 Select: <b>National Broadband Plan Notice of Inquiry - Docket 09-51</b> It's quick and easy to do....in fact, easier than posting to Google's Moderator page. Currently there are 8703 comments filed to the FCC on this inquiry. More than they ever expected. So much that they had to extend the comment closing date to allow for all of them to be read for comment. I'd love to see another 2000+ comments filed between now and the new closing date of July 21.
