Subject: Are you ready for the next Internet ISP tax, If so read on.
The following message came to me from a retired executive of Southern
Connecticut Bell Telephone Company. It seems that local phone companies
throughout the United States are supporting legislation that would impose
"per minute" charges for our connection to Internet Service Providers.
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 legislation. Let everyone you know hear about this one.
Get to the email address of everyone you can think of and ask them to e-mail
to: <isp@fcc.gov>. I would appreciate any further information from any
of you regarding this matter.

Tim
