Dost my ears deceive me? Is this true? -------- INCLUDED MESSAGE FCC Asked to Stop Net Phones

True that some organization is asking the _government_ to stop their competition? I'm shocked! Why, next thing you know people will be asking the government to restrict imports of small cars, restrict who can run radio stations, ban the hemp industry, tax imported sugar, or limit campaign contributions to non-incumbents. ("Not possible", you say - "that would be Un-American!") Of course it's true. Will the FCC do what they want? Who knows; it's stupid enough that they just might, but it may end up like the Craig Shergold O'Hair Memorial Modem Tax with people writing them crank letters for years after they've decided not to. #-- # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, stewarts@ix.netcom.com, +1-415-442-2215 pager 408-787-1281 #
