I would like to voice my adament opposition to the Pacific Bell proposal to
have a per minute charge on the internet.  This would only make the
internet inaccessible to those who can not afford the charge.  I believe
the internet should be a mode of communication for all people, not just
those who can pay for it.  Besides, the phone company is making plenty of
money already.

Please protect the interests of the citizens you represent.  DO NOT SUPPORT
A PER MINUTE CHARGE ON THE INTERNET.  THANK YOU.

Sincerely,

Sue Kuyper

Subject: PROPOSED FEE FOR INTERNET
Content-Length: 747

A co-worker told me that local phone companies are petitioning the FCC to
permit them to charge a per minute user fee to Internet users. This is a
blatant attempt to make a profit on a product the phone companies did not
create nor maintain. It will work a special hardship on schools and libraries
which provide access for students who might otherwise not have it.  The
permission, if granted, would result in "have" and "have-not" schools and
citizens - those who can afford it and those who can't, and would defeat the
purpose for which the Internet was created. And what about "double-dipping" :
would local companies that offer Internet access also charge a per-minute fee
for use? This is a bad idea. I urge the FCC to reject this request.

isp@fcc.gov

This is in response to your request for comments from internet users as to
whether the FCC should reverse its current policy of not allowing telephone
companies to apply a surcharge on internet providers for telephone access to
the internet. I ask that you NOT change your policy for the following
reasons:

As a frequent internet user, I am already paying a monthly access fee as is
everyone else I know for internet access.  Telephone company access fees to
internet providers will surely be passed directly to internet customers in
the form of higher monthly rates.  To unnecessarily raise these fees for me
and the millions of internet users nationwide would amount to nothing less
than an additional tax which many cannot and should not have to pay.
Telephone companies are already collecting higher fees than at any time in
their history, yet service has not improved significantly. I know many who
feel service has become more cumbersome to most residential customers. 

Before approving any additional telephone fees, the phone companies should
be made to provide clear and compelling justification in the form of
tangible evidence of improved service.  Otherwise, a rate increase in
monthly access fees will surely have a detrimental effect on many peoples'
ability to continue to access the internet at a time when more citizens are
turning to the internet for information and as a means of quick and
efficient communications. Surely the people are best served by reasonably
affordable access to the internet, in much the same way as citizens have
been served for several decades by access to radio and television through no
additional fees

Dear FCC,

   I am truly concerned by the fact that the phone companies disire to charge
for internet access regardless of wether the call is local. Myself and many
others I know beleive this to be Amoral, unconstitutional, and wrong.
Charging by hour for interrnet acess would in a matter of months cripple the
United States phone companies with all their customers switching to faster
and flat-rate cable modems. and eventually "Cable Phones". I sincerly urge
you not to allow this foolish legislation to pass.
Sincerly,

Since most ISPs allow internet access thru local phone numbers along
phone lines used by the individual consumer who is already paying for
monthly residential line access (or, correspondingly for businesses,
along business line access) it makes no sense to allow local phone
companies to charge the ISP per minute rates, which charges would only
be passed on to the consumer (who again is already paying for the line
access). I request you deny the request by local companies to inflate
the cost of internet access in this way.

As a customer of GTE's local phone service and GTE Internet Services, I am
appalled by their request for per-minute charges for Internet access. They
have installed second phone lines intended for Internet hookups for FREE as
a promotion. They were among the first to offer $19.95 unlimited access. 

If they were losing money I would have a different viewpoint. But, they are
doing very nicely, profitwise, and a per-minute charge is a slap in the
face since there is no alternative service in Port Richey, Florida. When a
competitive local service provider enters the market, they will get my
business.

I have informed GTE that the introduction of per-minute charges will result
in my changing Internet service providers and removing the extra phone line
used for Internet connection until another local service supplier is
available.

Subject: Phone Company per minute charge proposal
Content-Length: 1108

To Whom It May Concern:

The NYNEX (my local phone service provider) proposal to charge a per minute
usage for my home internet hookup is yet one more attempt my huge
corporations to exploit the end user/consumer of the telephone service. Is
it any wonder that we are looking forward to deregulation?

What is the difference to the phone company if I talk for 20 minutes to my
sister on the West Coast or connect with her on the internet via email? I
am using the same local line for which I pay for unlimited use. Soon the
phone company will want to distinguish between personal calls, calls to
business services, and God-knows-whatelse.

I guess the Internet is just too good for the general public because it
lets them communicate worldwide without enriching the coporate coffers of
the communications industry.

Please, please do not permit this unwarranted per minute charge to become
legal. It will diminish and destroy the promise of the internet for (once
again) all but the users with the financial wherewithal to pay what ever it
costs.

Thank you.

The attempt by telephone companies to levy a per minute charge for
users of the INTERNET is nothing more than an attempt to squeeze the end
user for an already overpriced service.  Its tantamount to price
gouging.  Similar to what the Oil Companies do with gasoline prices
before summer or an upcoming holiday.
	Its time FCC puts a stop to any public or private service company
taking advance of publice usage to line their already fat wallets.

	DO NOT ALLOW THIS PROPOSAL TO PASS !!

Don't you dare even try and charge per minute!!!  That would be insane, you
would lose SO MUCH BUSINESS, the web would pratically crash because they
would be charged for 2 min. just waiting for one page to load!  It far from
an okay idea.  Don 't bother.  Your the ones who will be hurt.

If phone companies start charging per minute for Internet usage
electronic commerce will take a beating, this is an attempt by a few
companies to increase business at the cost of a lot more companies.
So please do not let phone companies leavy per minute charges for usage
of the Internet.
Thank you

Content-Length: 1253

It would seem that the RBOC's are most greedy in wanting to assess a per
minute charge for ISP calls. This is despicable. I elected to pay a premium
monthly fee for unlimited local calling, that is what my phone company
should provide, and that is what I expect. There is no difference between a
30 minute local call to my ISP and a call of the same duration to one of my
friends, relatives, or neighbors. If the regional Bells want to make money
from the Internet and its users, they should do so through agressive
marketing of their own ISP services, which most phone companies all ready
offer. If they cannot make a profit through their in-house ISP service, they
should not expect the general public to pay for their marketing failures or
incompetence.

BTW, where the hell are the savings promised to consumers through
deregulation? I think you are doing a crummy job. My long distance bill is
up, my local phone bill is up, and my cable company increased its rates for
the second time in a year. Some savings.

And, yes, I vote.

Dear FCC Committee:
I recently recieved a forward regarding local phone companies desire 
to charge per minute for internet use.  In an effort to have a voice I 
am sending my opinion hoping that it will be heard.  The reason I have 
a local server is to avoid per minute charges of long distance, so 
obviously I am not in favor of the proposed change.  In addition to my 
personal financial reasons, I see the Universities and schools that 
are online suffering massive charges, which with the current cost of 
education would be again passed down to the students continuing 
tuition increases.  Also the smaller local srevers would be pushed out 
of competition since there would then be no price difference between 
local servers and large servers.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Andrea Tyndall

Hello,
I'm writing as a concerned citizen.  The telephone companies have monopolized an
incredible amount of money for their services already.  I think it is completely
outrageous that they want to charge extra money for e mail time.  It is
imperative that their greedy corporate tactics be stopped.  What can i do to
have you stop them.  Please4 inform me, thank you for your attention, 
sincerely, Iginia Valentina Boccalandro

I think it is absurd to have to pay additional charges to the phone company
for internet use.  I am already paying by the minute for the time I use the
line so I minimize my use.  This has to get under control.
