    • Enlarge the font size of links on the bottom half of the screen

      The tiny size of the fonts makes it seem like this information isn't important.

      • The new site is much ****** to use

        The concept looks nice, but the drop down menus need to tree out more because, unless you're lucky enough to be interested in a hot topic, there is insufficient information displayed on each page to easily locate one's desired path. This website was not well considered or designed. It looks like an attempt is being made to prevent people from easily finding information instead of the reverse.

          A thousand other ways things "could" be done right. This is one of them. Nice work

            • Looks Good Needs More Dynamic live applications

              Off to a great start. Site needs more automation and live real-time apps.
              Cut more red tape with online license applications, approved with a click of the mouse! No more download, pdf, word docx's and mail in forms. All real time, more user friendly where the common joe can understand and personal is the right direction.

                  All the RSS feeds I tried that were available on the the "new" FCC website failed to load into Microsoft Outlook.

                  • Get the government out of the the business of providing phone service for the poor or the lazy.

                    I am being charged a subscriber line fee in order that free loaders can have phone service. This is socialism and I don't want to support or live in a socialist country. Discontinue this charge so that I can afford to have a wire line to my house.

                        • Remove transitional doctype and move to html5. Build for the future, not the past.

                          The doctype for the site is "transitional". Change this to match today's standard for the new web site. Set the doctype to <!DOCTYPE html>, then design and fix issues.

                                  The vertical drop down menus occupy too much screen space, making them horizontal not only saves screen real-estate but keeps the overall new design more clean.

                                    Go to a page with a YouTube video like http://beta.fcc.gov/blog/broadband-jobs-and-innovation . If you scroll down the video will overlap the toolbar/header at least on Google Chrome.

                                    • Ookla test inaccurate

                                      The Ookla test significantly underestimates the capacity of high speed circuits.
                                      The MLAB test provides results that are consistent with test results obtained from reliable independent high-speed test sites. The Ookla test runs for only a very brief period of time, and reports results that are a factor of 20 to 30 too low. (I have a high speed line.)
                                      If clients only run the Ookla test, the data collected from those consumers is probably upper-bounded, and will not accurately record the capability of any high-speed circuits that consumers may have.
