@wordsmithy:
I believe the accurate tag would either be Harvard: The Oxford of America, or Harvard: The less wordy University of Chicago of the East.

MORE HEARINGS ARE NOT NEEDED BEFORE STOPPING COMCAST'S ABUSE

My name is Robb Topolski, and I am the Comcast customer identified in the Free Press (et. al.) petition to the FCC and my own personal statement is attached to the filing. Comcast's hacker-style network abuse is over a year old, and the FCC should act immediately to stop it.

The Petition asks for an immediate stop to the discriminatory Comcast interference, a rule preventing such practices on other US Internet Service Providers, and a monetary fine.

Clearly, the facts about this particular issue are all in. The FCC should act now to stop the interference immediately. Once the damage has been stopped, the FCC may hold additional hearings to address the issue of permanent Network Neutrality rules and the disposition of the remainder of this case.

Every once in a while,I think there might be some people in the government who actually care.

Then my head rolls over,and I wake up.It's really embarrassing,because the fat chick at work who kinda stalks me is usually watching me.

i think this is great news. It's better than if the FCC just shrugged their shoulders and moved forward. I hope comcast gets grilled by everyone in attendance.

Count on Harvard to get their priorities wrong. Repeat after me: You don't stick a major public issue like net neutrality in a teeny conference room and a small student discussion group in a huge dining hall!

Stanford, please don't repeat Cambridge and get that one right!
