After saying that, yeah, an investigation is due...maybe laws were broken, but I can say that I used a dead person name as a way to be anon.

In the end this should not matter, FCC is not running a vote. If they count pro /against this way then it's their problem. Arguments should be the only deciding factor.

Perhaps. But would you expect the FCC to actually sift through millions of stuffed comments just to get to the few good ones?

By stuffing the system with trash comments, the submitters effectively guaranteed that the FCC won't bother to read any of the comments.

They are, say 5 interest groups on the corp side and 5 known consumer organizations, each with their own connections and lobbyists.

FCC will get their POV and virtually every good argument, especially in such a major case. The "send your comment" is essentially a sham, making us think we have a voice (that matters)
