CNN stated that the Government would in two weeks time decide to

allow or not allow a Charge to your phone bill equal to a long distance

call each time you access the internet.

The address is http://www.house.gov/writerep/

Please visit the address above and fill out the necessary form!

If EACH one of us, forward this message on to others in a hurry,

we may be able to prevent this injustice from happening!

Could you give a reference to the CNN item on congressional action re

charges for Internet access. I just searched CNN's web page through

their search engine and found nothing dealing with this issue.

Thanks

My son is quite active in the latest 'computer world' information. I

forwarded him Jeff's comment re (see subject) and here is his answer.

Perhaps we can breathe easier, providing he is correct! (He usually is!)

I went from " just stinketh, to just horrified and finally to I will do anyting

to try and stop the action. I just can't believe the phone companies, I was

at the vet's today and a sales rep came in (at peek time) and wanted to talk

to one of the Dr's about switching tpo AT&T. When the receptionest said that

wouldn't it be better to call like all the others and he said that the

companies were all starting a new approach of " visiting " prospective clients

in person to give them the lasest propaganda on their services and savings!!!

I think they just got tired of bieng hung up on! I wonder if they will even

tell us what they do decide or if worse comes to worse it will just show up on

our phone bill?
