Hi All,
just found this in alt.auto.isuzu.

>I am 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 my 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.
>Every phone company is in on this one, and they are trying to sneak it in
>just under the wire for litigation. Let everyone you know here this one.

Does anyone think we could adopt this sort of thing.No not us but our
illustrious government.
I did see on a computer program on sky that HMG were thinking of taxing bps of
internet users as soon as they can find a way to do it.
Mind you dont hold your breath as they will probley try and tax that to,If they
could find a way to.
