Hi, Bobby-- The FCC board squashed all dissent, and ignored 25 years of precedent to push this ruling through. Yet it repeats 'til it is blue in the face that the ruling will not lead to per minute charges for ISP users. I see this ruling as laying the groundwork for charges down the road. Maybe months, maybe years, but eventually, the telecoms, who put pressure on the right spots, and made sure this ruling passed, will backdoor charges onto the ISP's to make up for lost revenues. This move needs to be repealed, and squashed like a bug, IMHO. Up with gold! Rick
