Just got off the phone with a representative from my congressmen's office regarding the earlier message pertaining to a possible charge by long distance phone companies for using the internet. According to the information I received, no action is scheduled to take place on this issue in the immediate future. I was informed that since this is a new congress, more pressing issues would have to be handeled first. The person I spoke too will be contacting the appropriate people in DC and will get back to me after the holiday. Now, should we totally buy into this reasoning? Is CNN missinformed? Any comments?
