This is one of the things that worries me about the Digital Telephony bill. In the various apologias and explanations from EFF, CyberWire Dispatch, etc. about why EFF helped with this bill, it was mentioned that online service providers have been removed from its coverage because they are not "common carriers". It only applies, they say, to common carriers like phone companies.
UUNET, among others, considers itself to be a common carrier. Perry
