I think the focus on the FCC is too narrow. In my opinion throttling all .gov addresses would be more effective.

Including .edu addresses would affect a population with plenty of time on their hands and who aren't afraid to let everyone know about their problems.

And a bunch of people who don't have time on their hands (staff and faculty) who will probably just go "Fuck you guys, now you're getting in the way of work."
Isn't that the idea?
Not if they can't particularly help effect change. "Random departmental secretary trying to book flights" isn't going to write their congressman over your clever code. All you've done is make their day worse.
