''The FCC has repeatedly stated for the past decade -- and is stating again today -- that it is NOT repealing the ISP exemption that Internet service providers from paying per- minute charges to local telephone companies,'' Kennard added, using capital letters for emphasis. ''This is one of the great enduring urban myths.'' dailynews.yahoo.com

David, RE: FCC internet fees. I saw that too, I think it was stated that a decision would be made within 2 weeks. There's quite a bit of political pressure against "taxing" the internet on the Republican side of the aisle. This should be interesting. BTW, John Chambers of CSCO believes that all future long distance will be "free" so you can see where the RBOC's would be gunning for this. Urban myth or not, I think you'll see pressure building for some sort of "access" fee, but I don't think a "cost per minute" structure will ever fly. bp
