I have posted the following news item to this group twice, but it keeps
getting illegally cancelled, apparently by a crook who doesn't want
people in this group calling the FCC to complain about his illegal
activities -- such as interfering in interstate communications.


From Communications Week, June 17, 1996:

            Get Rate Info on Your Telephone

     The FCC has implemented the initial phase of its free
24-hour-ad-day information lines in Florida, Maine and Virginia.
     By dialing 888-322-8255, callers in those states can get
information from staff members on questions about telephone rates
and charges, ask questions about long distance carriers, file
a form or complaint or express concerns about television
broadcasts, according to the FCC.
     The creation of the number is one of the commission's
responses to the passage of the telecom act.  "The commission is
encouraging more public participation and anticipates a growing
number of inquiries," said the FCC's official announcement of the
program.
     The program will be expanded as soon as more staff is trained
and equipment installed.  "This is a giant leap for consumers,"
said Reed Hundt, FCC chairman, in a prepared statement.  "They now
have one place they can call to ask questions or voice concerns or
complaints about communication services, programs, or companies,"
he said.
