Finally got in!!

At about 2 PM I finally got in to the FCC hearing that started at 11 AM. About in time for their break. Doh!

However, they will reconvene shortly and I and many of the other people who showed up early have finally been able to get into the hearing.

So far I observed a short exchange between Commisioner McDowell, Tim Wu and a representative from Comcast. McDowell seemed to want to make the case that if there are any net neutrality requirements, the internet is going to slow to a crawl for everyone across the world. the rep from Comcast tried to support that idea, while Tim Wu said that was hyperbole and missing the point.

More later!
