I am passing this along from a friend who says we should act:
I am writing to you to inform you of a very important matter currently
under review by the FCC. Your local telephone company has filed a
proposal
with the FCC to impose per minute charges for your Internet service.
They
contend that your usage has or will hinder the operation of the
telephone
network. It is my belief that Internet usage will diminish if users were
required to pay additional per minute charges and the proposed
regulation
constitutes just plain bad public policy. The FCC has created an e-mail
box
for your comments. Responses must be received by February 13, 1998.
Send your comments to isp@fcc.gov (FCC) and tell them what you think.
Every
phone company is in on this one (it will be a windfall for them) and
they are
trying to quietly sneak it in. Let everyone you know hear about this
one.
Get the e-mail address to everyone you can think of.
