The comments website relies on a backend system created in 1996. To handle the influx of comments, the FCC extended the deadline and set up an e-mail address that could accept comments into the official record. And it could get worse, as Congress is fighting over whether to cut the FCC’s budget or approve a requested funding increase.”
