Dear FlashNet customer,
We are writing you this to inform you of a very important matter
currently under review by the FCC. Your local telephone company has
filed a proposal with the FCC to impose per minute charges for your
internet service. They contend that your usage has or will hinder
the operation of the telephone network.
It is our belief that internet usage will diminish if users were
required
to pay additional per minute charges. The FCC has created an email box
for
your comments; responses must be received by February 13, 1997. Send
your comments to isp@fcc.gov and tell them what you think.
Alert everyone in your addressbook, and most importantly the subject
line should have "CC Docket No 96-263". FULL NAME AND ADDRESS SHOULD
ACCOMPANY THE EMAIL otherwise it will be deleted. Again, the email to
FCC is
isp@fcc.gov
More information can be found at the FCC website:
http://www.fcc.gov/isp.html
Please forward this email to all your friends on the internet so all our
voices may be heard.
Thanks for your time.
