I thought the following would be of interest to any one in the USA.
>Subject: Internet, FCC

>I am writing you this 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. The FCC has created an email box
>for your comments, responses must be received by February 13, 1998.
>Send your comments to isp@fcc.gov and tell them what you think.
>Every phone company is in on this one, and they are trying to sneak it
>in just under the wire for litiagation. Let everyone you know here about
this
>one. Get the e-mail address to everyone you can think of.
