| Offering media activists the means to globally distribute and share
programming and content, the internet will continue to play an ever
increasingly important role in the democratization and decentralization
of news and information. Learn: how to use the internet to obtain audio
source material; what file formats and software are used; what audio
streaming and webcasting are, and how to set up an internet radio
station; about uploading content to the web in MP3 format; what
recording, playback, and editing software tools are available and their
application.

| Absent action by the Commission, the new technology could be used
to circumvent restrictions traditionally found in tariffs con
cerning unlawful uses, such as gambling, obscenity, ion,
drug traffic, and other illegal acts.

[ In conclusion ]
Permitting long distance service to be given away is not in
the public interest. Therefore, ACTA urges the Federal Communi-
cations Commission (the Commission) to exercise its jurisdic-
tion in this matter and: issue a declaratory ruling establishing
its authority over interstate and international telecommuni-
cations services using the Internet; grant special relief to
maintain the status quo by immediately stop the sale of this
software; and institute rulemaking proceedings defining permissi-
ble communications over the Internet.

Anyone involved in, or contemplating the transmission of digitized audio
between computers over the Internet for such purposes as distance teaching,
virtual reality telepresence, and audio/video conferencing may wish to
become familiar with a March 4th petition by the Americas Carriers
Telecommunication Association (ACTA) to the FCC regarding Internet
telecommunications. This petition appears to broadly define all Internet
real-time audio communications between computer users as telephone calls
and seeks their prohibition. The FCC Common Carrier Bureau responded March
8th with Public Notice Report #2124 requesting comments on the petitioned
Rulemaking No. 8775 with an April 8th deadline. International
communications would appear to be affected only if passing through or
terminating in the US. Excerpted supplemental information follows:

Does anyone have any idea what the hardware component of this does? I
downloaded the software and it organizes audio files and schedules
streaming content from the internet. OK fine, the free software does
what its supposed to do. Great. Its supposed to convert e-mail and
MS
Word documents (and any other text I would guess) to voice too. Even
better.
What I cant figure out is what the hardware component, the US $70
adapter actually does. All the information Ive seen is that it
connects to a PC via the soundcard line out and to any portable Sharp
MD
recorder via the line in. I also found something that said it supplies
power from the PCs PS/2 keyboard jack to the power jack on any Sharp
portable.
So its a glorified power source/analogue cable from what I gather.
Does
anyone have any more information about this device (i.e. why anyone
would want to spend $70 on it).
Thanks in advance.

| That is what this petition is saying. Intially it is refering to long
distance phone calls, however it can be used as a foundation for the
dismanteling of the very freedoms, which the paying customers who use the
Internet, hold dear. In the end progress is slowed, and our future is
darkened, all because of greed. This is a matter which I hope receives
much criticism and resentment from the people of these United States, as
they are the ones who will ultimatly lose, if this petition passes. |
