David, Are you living in some sort of bubble which isolates you from the news world??? No offense but the news has been saturated the last week with the battle before the FCC between the internet providers and the phone companies. It has been quite interesting listening to each side explain their completely opposite positions on the matter. If you think this is a fairy tale I suggest you write your congressman and ask for the details. The battle is in full swing and the details are available. Here are a few.... Subject: TELEPHONE CHARGES Date: Monday, February 03, 1997 11:31 AM Subject: FCC Imposed Charges Your local telephone company has filed a proposal with the FCC to impose * per minute charges * for your internet service. They contend that your usage has or will hinder the operation of the telephone network. It is our belief that internet usage will diminish if users were required to pay additional per minute charges. We also feel that singling out one area may lead to ALL of your phonecalls being charged "by the minute" with future legislation. The FCC has created an email box for your comments, responses must be received by February 13, 1997. Send your comments to isp@fcc.gov and tell them what you think. For up to the minute info, visit fcc.gov Good reading that will make you think: fcc.gov The Internet Access Providers Alliance PS: The average ISP has 100 phone lines or more. We pay an average of $2,1 The Bell phone company already makes ($2,100 + $3,800 + $825.00) -- $ 6,725.00 per MONTH average off each ISP. There are thousands of ISP's. Apparently the Bell companies want to triple their income without providing additional value or guarantees. If you WANT to pay -Per Minute- access charges to the Phone Company then do nothing. Otherwise voice your opinion to this email address: isp@fcc.gov BG
