I don't know if it's a hoax, or if the "hoax" reports are a hoax. If you read this article: cnnfn.com
it states that the FCC has cleared the way to allow ISPs to charge long distance rates for internet access.

Here's a quote from the article:
Gene Kimmelman, co-director of the Washington arm of Consumers Union, told CNNfn, "Ultimately, dialing up an Internet Service Provider will be treated as a long- distance phone call. Everything about the FCC's analysis indicates that this will cause a price increase for the consumer."

Regards,
Craig
