Re: SlateColt.. Sprint's "plans."

If Sprint has a plan, its called SCREWING YOU. Fortunately, the CEO "master minds" of the telephone companies can't walk on water and their plans will not pan out THE WAY THEY'D HAVE IT. A "meter" that costs $200. What a joke! The big boys just have to pop off now and then to tell us how they're "leading the way." Truth is, they're scrabbling for survival....

On the FCC's home page fcc.gov you will see a column called Hot Topics. In this column you will see an item called Internet and Interstate Information Services. This page will give you an overview of the FCC's involvement in the internet. It also summarizes the current status of internet telephony for those interested.

In time you should expect to pay a per-minute-fee for an internet
voice-to-voice connection.

Finally, there have been a number of mergers between internet and
telephone companies and I expect the trend to continue (e.g., MCI and
Worldcom), so I wouldn't loose sleep over Sprint's or AT&T's future viability. However, as technologies speed and the bandwidth increases, the prices we pay for connectivity should be far less extortive than is currently the case.

Just trying to help,
Marty
