[Re: FCC Internet Minute Charges...]

Hi Ray

Here's something from www.news.com

[TEXT DELETED]


Despite the email notice that has been circulating on
the Net, the agency also confirmed that it has not
reopened a public comment period on whether
phone carriers should be allowed to charge the
permanent ISP access fee. The email began
circulating a few days before the universal service
public inquiry notice was released, according to the
FCC.

"The email circulating that says the FCC is asking
for comment by February 13, 1998, on the issue of
whether the ISPs should have to pay access
charges to local phone carriers is an erroneous
email," an FCC spokeswoman said today. "In its
access reform order in May of 1997, the FCC
decided not to allow local telephone companies to
impose permanent access charges on ISPs. The
FCC is no longer asking for comment in this
proceeding."
