If your company is going to play the regulatory game, don't bother with filing informal comments. Learn the procedures for filing proper FORMAL comments with the FCC. Some basic info is available here http://www.fcc.gov/getinfo.html and the explanation of how to file a formal comment is here http://www.fcc.gov/pub/ftp/pub/reference_tools/panel_4.txt While the FCC will take some note of informal comments, they are more like signatures on a petition, easy to do and only worth something when they come in bulk. So to have any significant impact on the FCC, take some time and play the game their way. Just about everything of interest to an ISP will come up in the Common Carrier Bureau http://www.fcc.gov/ccb/ Also note that you don't need to hire a lawyer in order to file formal comments, you just need to be able to follow instructions accurately and write clearly. Note that the Reply-To is set to [email protected] because that's where non operational issues like this should really be discussed.
