To all:
It would be wise NOT to send an email to that address.  Below is an exert from
the

In December 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requested public
comment on issues relating
to the charges that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and similar companies pay
to local telephone companies. On
May 7, 1997, the FCC decided to leave the existing rate structure in place. In
other words, the FCC decided not to
allow local telephone companies to impose per-minute access charged on ISPs.

Please Note: There is no open comment period in this proceeding. If you have
recently seen a message on the
Internet stating that in response to a request from local telephone companies,
the FCC is requesting comments to
<isp@fcc.gov> by February 1998, be aware that this information is inaccurate.
Now back to the seed catalogues.

Mick
