>
> Dear colleagues,
>
> As many of you know, the FCC is currently engaging in the process of repealing its network neutrality rules and 
> eliminating its Title II authority over broadband providers. 
>
> I'm writing you today to ask you to sign on to a letter that EFF has prepared for filing, which explains several key 
> engineering concepts that are vital to understanding how the Internet actually operates given that the FCC's own 
> findings misinterpret how the Internet works. 
>
> The letter stays away from legal arguments, and instead focuses on technical statements on the design and operation 
> of the Internet. It is meant to establish a factual record for the FCC about the Internet and it is necessary because 
> its initial findings in its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking are just wrong. For one, the FCC thinks that broadband 
> Internet providers are the ones providing end users with the services of the entire Internet, from search engines to 
> online newspapers to language translation tools.
>
> If you're willing to sign on and help, please email engineers-nn-comments () eff org (off-list) by Friday, July 14 
> and I will be happy to share a copy of the letter for you to review before you agree to sign on.
>
> The more signatures we can get, the more likely the FCC is to take notice as well as the courts should they move 
> forward. All it takes is an email. Please help us make sure the FCC gets the facts from an engineer's standpoint.
>
> Thank you for your support,
