50,000 net neutrality complaints were excluded from FCCs repeal docket

The Federal Communications Commission docket for its repeal of net neutrality rules is missing something: more than 50,000 complaints that Internet customers have filed against their ISPs since the rules took effect in 2015.

The National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC) was able to obtain the text of net neutrality complaints from the FCC via a public records request but says it has not been able to convince the FCC to include them in the repeal docket. "It seems to me that the commission is going to great lengths to ignore these documents and not incorporate them into the record," NHMC General Counsel Carmen Scurato told Ars.

The FCC initially refused to release all of the complaints but eventually complied with that aspect of the NHMC's request and produced nearly 70,000 pages of records. The FCC still hasn't given the NHMC most of the broadband providers' responses to complaints.
