Strange.
First, they were never a common carrier: they went to some legal pains
to get registered as an enhanced service provider. I don't know what
the differences are, but when the first "Internet Porn" article by Joe
Abernathy appeared years ago, Rick wasn't worried. He told me ESP was
better then CC, but I don't remember why (perhaps it was no FCC regulation?)
It's unclear how this new policy affects their ESP status.
