Do not send any notes to the FCC. You get the following response:
This is an automated response to the message you sent to isp -at- fcc -dot- gov -dot- 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be aware that this information is out of date.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.
