For the record, i would like to clarify what the proposal would have
required.
1. telephone companies would have to provide tariffed internet access.
(important for people not living in a community with competitive
providers, beleive me, they exist).
2. telephone companies would have to provide a flat rate for sending and
receving email to non-commerical discussion groups, which are defined as
lists which are available for free.
3. telephone companies would be free to offer metered services, if they
wanted to, and customers could choose what they wanted.
4. everyone else cand do whatever they want.
