WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 1998-- The need for speed by consumers and business professionals when using the Internet is enormous, and the FCC's ruling that asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) traffic is interstate in nature, frees GTE to feed the bandwidth hunger of today's Internet users. GTE is pleased with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) order ruling that the company's high-speed Internet access service offering is correctly tarriffed at the federal level. With this ruling, the FCC has removed a barrier toward enabling broad-based deployment of this remarkable service. By its vote, the FCC has given users the most valuable online commodity today -- speed. ADSL will be the story for 1999!!!!!

HIGH-SPEED ADSL ACCESS GETS CHEAPER RATE FROM FCC According to the Wall Street Journal, the Federal Communications Commission has ruled asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) service should be classified as interstate long-distance rather than local service. This ruling makes the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) none too happy. The designation would make it unnecessary to compensate the RBOCs for completing ADSL Internet calls (the so-called local access fee). The RBOCs say long-distance compensation rules were never meant for Internet access. They're afraid cash will migrate to new local phone companies such as Intermedia Communications. The situation has so infuriated the RBOCs that they have reportedly resorted to withholding compensation from the new local phone companies. Our take: We want cheaper, faster Internet access now. Even at the expense of the big phone companies. This new rulings brings us closer. The RBOC's have been the obstruction; now they either provide or get pushed out of the way by alternative competitors. Finally; competition to drive getting us to the next generation access speeds; ADSL!
