What are your thoughts on how the internet should be run? The government still wants to know.

In May, the FCC proposed a set of rules for net neutrality. Essentially, the proposal concerned internet service providers that want to charge extra for services like Netflix to access and use higher bandwidths. The debate is over whether or not such tiered internet organization is okay, or if everyone would be better off getting the same level of service.

Some are hesitant to allow companies to charge for these so-called internet “fast lanes,” because such a move would essentially force prioritization of internet service in favor of those businesses that can afford to pay for preferential treatment. In turn, there are worries that such preferential treatment would cut down on the innovation and creativity that has so long fueled the internet, and that it would essentially give greedy and wealthy corporations control of the web.

The FCC, on the other hand, is a bit split on the subject – so split, in fact, that the commission decided to open up its proposed net neutrality rules to the public for open discussion. Through July 15, the FCC was accepting public comments on net neutrality. The plan was to get those comments on the web and then allow people to reply to them, with the cutoff date for all discussion coming on September 10.

However, the FCC site was so overwhelmed by the surge of comments and replies that it has now extended the deadline for replies to September 15. According to a report from Reuters, the delay is meant to give the general public extra time to make their voices heard on the subject of net neutrality. Supposedly, the FCC will then take into account the opinion of the public in deciding whether or not to allow ISPs to create prioritized services on the internet.
