 the FCCs new proposed rules?
======
doctorshady
Last I checked an FCC proceeding on Friday it worked. Not so much right now,
though. I just get an error saying "Cannot open connection" after a long
pause.

My suspicion is someone might be ddosing it out of outrage, but it could just
as easily be their own problems. The commenting system did stop working once
in February or so.

EDIT: Their main site seems to be up, so I assume it's not anything shady.

Yeah, I should have been more exact in my initial wording. This is the error I
was receiving as well, though I check it now and instead am getting an error
from my browser ("No Data Received") instead of getting the "Cannot open
connection" error from the service.

I noticed on Techcrunch today there was a segment on John Oliver's Sunday
night HBO show where he discusses Net Neutrality. I didn't watch the clip but
maybe the outage is related to this.

The site is up and shows 45,647 comments on Proceeding 14-28 "Protecting and
Promoting the Open Internet" in the period since comments opened on it (which
is more than 30 times the activity of the next-heaviest over the past 30
days), so it clearly has worked for some people. I suspect any errors you are
encountering (the only error I see is if you attempt to click through the link
to the existing public comments) are because of an unanticipated activity
level resulting from the fact that the comment link is being broadcast with
many opinion articles/broadcasts on the issue accompanied by calls to flood
the system.

This is crazy, I can't believe this insanity. If not for John Oliver I
wouldn't even know about net neutrality. Who thought this up anyway!!!

 The site is up and indicate 45,647 comments on Proceeding 14 - 28 " Protecting and 
 Promoting the Open Internet " in the period since comments open on it (which 
 is more than 30 times the activity of the next - heaviest over the past 30 
 days), so it clearly has worked for some multitude. I suspect any errors you are 
 encountering (the only mistake I see is if you try to click through the link

 many opinion articles / broadcasts on the issue company by calls to deluge 
 the system.
