Actually that is not correct, the FCC did say that they think that ISP
calls are interstate (they are crazy), but the above is not true. The FCC
did not take away power from the states that have ruled on this issue,
they also said that this finding will NOT affect any current agreements. I
had 3 of my CLEC customers sign agreements this week, so they are happy
about that part. :-)
I was not sure if I should make this post, but I did so because the
information was not correct. Any further post on this issue should be
taken up on list more suited to this topic. You may want to check out
my CLECLIST is found at http://www.robotics.net/clec/cleclist.html or
other lists where this topic is being discussed.
Anyway, I think this is a major event and something that ISPs need to look
at, but it is not a operational issue.
