For all those who thought this was an early April fool's joke, the FCC web
site states that they are seriously considering ACTA's petition for the
FCC to impose controls over use of the Internet for voice communication, with
the deadline for filing comments being May 8, 1996.


From www.fcc.gov:

	Common Carrier Bureau clarifies and extends request for comment on ACTA
	Petition relating to "Internet phone" software and hardware.

The full document is available at:

Don't believe me, visit the FCC web site, or read about it in the
comp.dcom.telecom newsgroup.
