Open Internet Reply Comment Deadline Extended to April 26th, 2010

April 8th, 2010 by Sharon Gillett

A number of parties have requested that the FCC extend the reply comment deadline so that “all interested parties may evaluate and consider the legal implications of” the Court’s decision in Comcast v. FCC (DC Cir. April 6, 2010).

While the FCC does not routinely grant extensions of time, the FCC concluded that “good cause exists to provide all parties an extension.” Therefore, the FCC extended the reply comment date from April 8 to April 26, 2010. Comments can be filed through the FCC’s Electronic Comment Filing System (the docket number is 09-191).

In the Order granting the extension, the FCC also reminded interested parties that on April 28th, the FCC will be holding the Approaches to Preserving the Open Internet Workshop in Seattle Washington. A press release announcing the participants should soon be released.

Open Internet Reply Comment Deadline Extended to April 8, 2010

March 3rd, 2010 by Sharon Gillett

In response to requests from a number of parties, the FCC announced last week that we’re extending the deadline for filing reply comments in the open Internet proceeding to April 8, 2010.

The FCC doesn’t ordinarily grant requests for extensions of time, but parties asked for more time to respond to the many filings made in the opening round of comments, and to incorporate issues raised in the National Broadband Plan, which was initially scheduled to be delivered to Congress in mid-February but will now be delivered in mid-March. We felt it was appropriate to give a one-time extension of the reply comment deadline, expecting that this additional time will help everyone develop complete, useful, and data-focused replies. If you’re interested in seeing what others have filed, you can search for comments here for Proceeding Number 09-191. We look forward to hearing from you by April 8.
