The Electronic Frontier Foundation has created a very user-friendly website to help the public (that’s you!) submit a public comment to the Federal Communications Commission on the topic of network neutrality. Unlike online petitions, a public comment becomes a part of the official record on legislative issues. Governing bodies such as the FCC is legally required to collect and consider public interest when making changes on certain proceedings (like net neutrality!). To give you an idea of the scope of this issue, more than 2.8 million public comments have been filed in just the past 30 days!
