The FCC somehow lost a bunch of net neutrality comments

The Federal Communications Commission said on Tuesday that more than half a million public comments were, in fact, missing from the bulk download that the agency had shared with the outside world in a bid to add some measure of transparency to the debate over net neutrality. The counting and miscounting of those those public submissions has been the subject of a fierce back-and-forth between those supporting and opposing the passage of rules that would govern how equally online content must be treated by Internet service providers.
