Fooled 'ya. But my original headline kept sinking like a stone. (And technically the Internet contains all of those.)
Just wanted to get your attention to remind you that if you haven't commented on Net Neutrality to the FCC, this is the last day of the public comment period.
Here's link to FCC comment site.

From Bill Moyers Journal
Update: Today, Tuesday, July 15, marks the final day for the first round of public comments on the Federal Communications Commissions proposed rulemaking for the Open Internet. In other words, Net neutrality equal access to the Internet for all. According to FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, as of Friday, 647,000 comments had been received so far, reflecting, the commission notes, widespread public engagement. Consumers care about protecting and promoting Internet openness and we welcome their views on how to do so.
A decision will be made later this year. How the commission will act depends in part on how they respond to continuing public pressure. So keep your messages coming. Email the FCC at: openinternet [AT] fcc.gov. Tell them why you think an Open Internet is essential and while youre at it, ask the FCC to hold official open hearings on Net neutrality around the country so they can hear what real people have to say outside the Washington bubble.
Read this essay first published in May by Bill Moyers and Michael Winship and note the box at the end which describes other ways you can participate in the fight to keep the Internet open, equal and available to all. And dont worry if you dont get to contact the FCC today, theres still plenty of time to let them know what you think, loud and clear.
