On Net Neutrality, California Cares; Texas? Not So Much

When nearly 1.1 million net neutrality comments flooded the Federal Communications Commission this spring into the summer, they came from around the country. But the interest in open-Internet topics doesn't spread out evenly across the United States.

San Francisco-based data analysis firm Quid looked at the geographic sources of the public comments and adjusted them based on state populations. California and Washington State are overrepresented, and states in the South and Southwest -- notably the deep South -- didn't engage as strongly with this issue.
