Sigh. This crap has more lives than a cat! A year ago, it appeared, with a deadline date in Feb 1998. The FCC put up a note on their web site debunking it. That note is still there. They have another "Fact Sheet" page, dated December 1998, categorically and in detail debunking it again. Please see <http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Common_Carrier/Factsheets/nominute.html> <http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Common_Carrier/Factsheets/ispfact.html> for yourself. And _please_ do what you can to eradicate this idiocy!
