from the article:
While it’s FCC policy to accept and help manually upload spreadsheets containing batches of comments collected by virtually anyone, it also offers access to an API system that give groups … the ability to create their own submission pages that feed directly into the agency’s Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS).
basically, it allows for freedom of assembly. organizations can reach out to their members on topics, and the organization can respond with the comments they’ve gathered.
