>>>Hey Guys:
>>>
>>>How about this? I think we should load up the FCC with
responses to
>>>this situation. You will see the Email address to respond to.
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but we, online
users, are
about to get ripped off again! Yes, the telephone companies are
trying to get
an additional charge added to your per min. internet use.
I am forwarding this in hope that with enough response we can
stop the
FCC from approving a proposal from the telephone companies.
Please
respond to the address indicated below so we might fight phone
companies from
imposing additional charges to what we already pay for online
usage!
Seems Ma Bell is unhappy that business is conducted over their
wires and she
wants a share. "I am writing you this to inform you of a very
important matter
currently under review by the FCC. Most telephone companies have
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.
The FCC has created an email box for your comments,
responses must be
received by February 13, 1997.
Send your comments to isp@fcc.gov and tell them what you think.
Please forward this email to all your friends on the internet so
all our
voices may be heard. Power to the people!
