[Rpm] The FCC 2024 Section 706 Report, GN Docket No. 22-270 is out!

[Dave Taht]

And...

Our bufferbloat.net submittal was cited multiple times! Thank you all
for participating in that process!

https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-400675A1.pdf

It is a long read, and does still start off on the wrong feet (IMHO),
in particular not understanding the difference between idle and
working latency.

It is my hope that by widening awareness of more of the real problems
with latency under load to policymakers and other submitters
downstream from this new FCC document, and more reading what we had to
say, that we will begin to make serious progress towards finally
fixing bufferbloat in the USA.

I do keep hoping that somewhere along the way in the future, the costs
of IPv4 address exhaustion and the IPv6 transition, will also get
raised to the national level. [1]

We are still collecting signatures for what the bufferbloat project
members wrote, and have 1200 bucks in the kitty for further articles
and/or publicity. Thoughts appreciated as to where we can go next with
shifting the national debate about bandwidth in a better direction!
Next up would be trying to get a meeting, and to do an ex-parte
filing, I think, and I wish we could do a live demonstration on
television about it as good as feynman did here:

[1] How can we get more talking about IPv4 and IPv6, too? Will we have
to wait another year?
