For example, as a part of its rulemaking to develop rates that would finance Internet connections in schools and libraries, the Federal Communications Commission sponsored moderated, online policy dialogues for educators and librarians that, according to an unpublished report, enabled over 500 participants from across the nation to learn about the proposed rule, share their views with each other, and offer comments to the Federal Communications Commission.
The dialogues enabled over 500 people to learn about the new rule.
