In December 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requested public comment on issues
relating to the charges that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and similar companies pay to local
telephone companies. On May 7, 1997, the FCC decided to leave the existing rate structure in place.
In other words, the FCC decided NOT to allow local telephone companies to impose per-minute access
charged on ISPs.
Please Note: There is no open comment period in this proceeding. If you have recently seen a
message on the Internet stating that in response to a request from local telephone companies, the
FCC is requesting comments to <isp@fcc.gov> by February 1998, be aware that this information is
inaccurate.
Don't believe everything you read on the internet, including this. Look it up yourself.
Apologies for straying from the VW Jetta topics.
