John Oliver knocks it out of the park. I filed a comment with the FCC after watching this, and suggest you do the same.

All I can do is to give Moral Support.....
Off topic I know, but its good to see that young John has had a decent haircut and that he retains his Brummieness.
Back to topic...
OK ... I sent in a comment.
Where do you go to give a comment? Just on the youtube?

The proceeeding number showed right when I did this.
Brilliant!
There is a blue button on the top with the caption "Take Action". Thats it I think.
Thanks. What is a 'proceeding number'?
Do you mean Proceeding #?
Sorry I live on the other side of the Great Ocean in a small insignificant country. I have no Idea what the FCC is or what a FCC proceeding is.
Is this
http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/display?z=lzg8y
the right place? It asks for a proceeding number.
@Jeffrey Um, yes right place. 14-28 is the proceeding number. It is the proceeding that deals with freedom of the internet.
For others from other countries: The FCC is the US Federal Communications Commission, which has some power over what companies that provide internet service in the US can do and cannot do. Some companies are lobbying the FCC to be able to charge what they want for some folks to have their sites transmitted over thier infrastructure. In theory, what the Comcast Cable company wants to do is control what goes over their infrastructure as they will, not as thier customers choose what to get. So lincoln and others are making use of the FCC's public commenting system to object to this, and urging folks in the US also to do this. If the FCC gets enough people complaining, they are likely to tell Comcast and Verizon to not do what they want rather to do what thier customers want.
That was great @lincoln; not sure how I can have any effect, but I support your action...
Jon Oliver makes me LMAO!
That's my new exercise routine.
This today:
is this good news, @Linc....?
Yes, Title II for internet is what Linc and others have been pushing for. Me too, BTW.
Yes, "cautiously optimistic" is the phrase of the day.
Well hoo-bloody-ray for a bit of sound sense then!!
