This is from a listserve group my husband belongs too. The people that post there are very up on all this stuff and things like it. Read through this and you will find a couple web sites for you to check out about it and one to go to that you can write your congressmen from.

>From Wired:
"The decision settled a long-standing dispute between phone companies over how to classify a dial-up call to access the Internet. Small carriers wanted the FCC to classify the calls as local traffic. Regional phone companies wanted the calls classified as interstate, so that they wouldn't have to share a cut of their revenues with competitors.

FCC commissioners took the middle ground in the dispute. The agency agreed that because Internet users bounce to Web sites all over the world, calls to access the Net shouldn't really be classified as local. Nevertheless, the agency ruled connections to the Internet should still be exempt from long-distance charges."
