THE FCC's REPLY!!
*******************************************************

This is a automated response to the message you sent isp at fcc.gov.  We
established this mailbox for informal comments about usage of the public
switched  telephone network by Internet access and information service
providers for a proceeding on this matter in 1997.

If you are responding to a message stating that local phone companies 
have
asked the FCC for permission to impose per-minute charges for Internet 
access,
please be aware that this information is out of date.  The FCC decided 
in May
1997 NOT to allow imposition of Interstate access charges on Internet 
service
providers.  There is no comment period currently open in this 
proceeding.

More information on Access Charges and the ISP proceeding is available 
at
<http://www.fcc.gov/isp.html>

Look for more features and announcements on our Web site,
<http://www.fcc.gov/>, in the future!
