>>UPDATE: INTERNET ACCES AT RISK
>>
>>Please read this carefully!
>>
>>We generally don't get involved in politics actively, but this is one
>>occasion where we have to actively ask EVERYONE to get involved.
>>
>>In case you did not hear, today on CNN it was announced that again the FCC
>>is considering a piece of regulation that would allow the telephone
>>companies (TELCO) to assess the users a separate per minute charge to use
>>the Internet. Of course the TELCO strongly support this, and unless active
>>opposition is experienced this could very easily become a reality.
>>
>>We have had a number of people ask how the TELCO would know the difference
>>in whether you are talking on the phone or sending data (using the
>>Internet)? And there are a number of thoughts on this issue. Two of which
>>are as follows:
>>
>>1. They would have some monitoring device that could discern between the
>>voltage of data, and the voltage of voice, when data is detected they
start
>>charging you based on a per minute usage. While this is possible we do not
>>think this is the route they (the TELCO) will take.
>>
>>2. The more likely route we think the TELCO will adopt if this is allowed
>>to
>>become a reality is that the TELCO will introduce enough line noise as to
>>prevent a modem or other telecommunication device to make a connection,
yet
>>not interfere with voice communication. This would then not only allow the
>>TELCO to charge you a per minute rate to use the Internet, but also
require
>>you get a totally separate line to access the Internet with. This would
>>give
>>them a double revenue stream from one piece of FCC regulation. This we
feel
>>is the most likely avenue the TELCOs will take. And this charge is in
>>addition to any charges you have to pay to an Internet Service Provider,
>>which could also go up!
>>
>>Please bear in mind this action is focused on YOU the user, granted we
>>expect other actions to focus on the ISP themselves, but right now YOU the
>>individual user will severely feel the immediate impact of this action if
>>you do not do anything NOW to stop it.
>>
>>WHAT CAN YOU DO!:
>>
>>First, we would like to ask a favor of anyone interested. If you will
>>provide us with the link to any states Congressman/woman email address,
and
>>or the telephone numbers we will post it to this list and to the web so
>>people can email them and tell them to STOP this action.
>>
>>Secondly it is imperative that YOU the user take action and call your
>>congressman/woman AND the FCC to let them know you do not support this
>>action. Please bear in mind that if you do nothing to stop this, your
>>INACTION will be interpreted as your SUPPORT for this action and once
>>
>>It Has been implemented it will most likely never be stopped. So in short
>>
>>ACT NOW TO STOP THIS..... or PAY LATER!
>>
>>This is being televised on CNN today if you have any doubts, (this is a
>>form of solicitation of public comment, so heed this warning)! 11/07
