Today’s update transitions ECFS to a cloud-based platform, which will make the system scalable and more agile. In addition, reCAPTCHA functionality has been added to the system. “Our comment filing system is a critical avenue for public input that we need to keep up-to-date,” said Chairwoman Rosenworcel. “Today’s effort is a start to do just that and I want to thank the FCC staff and contractors who have made this possible.” The comment system is an important part of the FCC’s legal process and a critical portal for public engagement in our proceedings. This first phase of the multi-phase ECFS upgrade effort will enable development of new functions that take advantage of the upgraded technology platform.
