>April 10 -ÿThe Federal Communications Commission on Friday re-affirmed its position that Internet service providers are not the same as telecommunications carriers and thus should not be subject to phone industry regulations. The FCC also said Internet phone calls should not be subject to long-distance access charges, but added that further study is needed to determine if the exemption is justified.< Good news above. They have to be influenced by Clinton/Gore. I sure wish Republicans would take a stand on the issues facing data networking. Maybe they are and press is ignoring them? MikeM(From Florida) ÿ ÿ ÿ ÿ PS Francis, I liked your spreadsheet. But, IMHO, real answer is, everyone loses when FCC gets involved in any aspect of data networking.
