"umm,   you are wrong this is a real issue.   All the RBOC's (regional
bell
operating companies) are trying to have ISP calls defined as long
distance
calls and therefore subject to per minute charging.  This is never going
to
go away.  Even if the FCC makes a definitive ruling in our favor(as they

now
can do superceding state PUCs (public utility commissions).  which for
the
most part have said its a local call .  The Rocs will keep appealing
till
they get their way.  (and i know charging for data calls is against the
he
consent decree).  If more information is wanted on this issue i can
supply
it when i return to the states."
