Thieves, Robbers and Bandits From: bwhite@erols.com (Bruce White) Date: Mon, 10 Feb 1997 00:00:00 +0000 I just received this from a friend. I would think it a hoax except the author left his address. It sounds crazy, but I've read the papers lately and nothing is crazy anymore. Well, it certainly can effect the playing of games, discussion of games and development of games via the Internet. ----Forward Message Follows---- From: seawolf@nni.com Date: 9 Feb 1997 20:46:26 EDT Subject: MBT: FYI --(FORWARD PRIVATE MESSAGE)-- I am writing you this to inform you of a very important matter currently under review by the FCC. Your local telepohone 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 litgation. Let everyone you know here this one. Get the e-mail address to everyone you can think of. isp@fcc.gov Pleae forward this email to all your friends on the Internet so all our voices may be heard! --(END FORWARD MESSAGE)-- Bruce R.
