I have read the entire text of the Declaratory Ruling in CC Docket No. 96-98 and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in CC Docket No. 99-68 decided Thursday, Feb 25, 1999, and it says nothing about long distance being charged to ISPs for our connection to the Internet. It's solely about inter-carrier compensation for connecting end users to ISPs. For an explanation see: http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Common_Carrier/Factsheets/nominute.html The full text of the Ruling and Notice is to be found at http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Common_Carrier/Orders/1999/fcc99038.txt Tom Lowe ______________________________________________________________________ Tom Lowe The tygers of wrath are wiser than Jackson, Mississippi the horses of instruction.
