If you are an Internet user (any Internet user), you need to find out 
what the Texas House of Representatives is planning for your future. THIS 
WEEK, the Texas House of Representatives will debate and vote on HB 2128, 
a comprehensive re-write of telecommunications regulations.

Because the proposed regulations have been crafted largely without 
technical and Internet community participation, the bill as presently 
drafted substantially undermines the open nature of the Internet: in its 
worst incarnation it will literally shut down most small BBS and Internet 
service providers. At best, HB 2128 as written will significantly raise 
rates for Internet consumers, adversely affecting those least able to 
pay- thereby inadvertly, but directly, creating the information have and 
have not classes within our society that all other contemporary 
legislation seeks to avoid.
