: Nothing like panic-mail from an ISP President -- Spammariffic!

The FCC mentioned several times in their NOI that this was a tentative
conclusion.  Tentative means not final. Tentative means we may change our
minds later.  If the FCC didn't want to leave this impression they would
have used much stronger language.  It was only during this past week that
Reed Hundt started talking in absolutes -- the FCC is not going to change
existing policy.  This change in perspective and language was 100%
influenced by the large number of people who e-mailed them during the
public comment period saying "don't do it". 

So I think that you are way off base in slamming Flash Net for participating 
in these efforts.  Democracy is sloppy -- sorry it doesn't fit into your 
pre-conceived notions about how the world should or shouldn't be.
