Another tale from the book of "It'll never happen" <grin>

The Federal Communications Commission is expected to rule on Friday whether Internet telephony providers should pay the same universal service charge as telecommunications carriers. However, leaks from within the commission indicate that the U.S. regulator has already decided to impose the charge on Internet telephony calls, a move some Internet telephony providers said might double the industry's charges.

What was that phrase again? >>>has already decided to impose the charge
