Accord­ing to Reuters, FCC com­mis­sion­ers voted 5–0 today to pro­ceed with craft­ing a “net neu­tral­ity” rule, send­ing the cur­rent lan­guage (which would strip tele­com com­pa­nies of the right to con­trol how they use their own prop­erty) to the print­ing office for pub­lic com­ment. Com­ments will be accepted until Jan­u­ary 14th.

The Notice of Pro­posed Rule­mak­ing is avail­able online here [PDF].

You can upload your com­ments using ECFS here, using pro­ceed­ing num­ber 09–191. You can read oth­ers’ com­ments on ECFS here.

I’m writ­ing com­ments to sub­mit right now. I’ll post my com­ments here when I fin­ish. I encour­age every­one who loves the Inter­net and doesn’t want to see it become the Postal Ser­vice of the 21st Cen­tury to do the same.
