| I am deeply concerned about the implications of the Americas Carriers
Telecommunication Association Internet Phone Petition. On the surface it
would seem as if this petition were designed for benevolent reasons, i.e.
to service the majority of our country. However, when one probes deeper
into its depths, the truth becomes blindingly obvious. The only
benificiary of this petition is the phone companies. Currently it is true
that one can communicate over a great distance, using real-time audio, and
only have to pay the Internet Service Provider charges. While this will no
doubt, in the future when the quality is better, impact long-distance
services for phone companies, the solution cannot be prohibition. If this
If-I-Cant-Have-It-No-One-Can behavior were acceptable, then e-mail
should be outlawed for the same reason, for it must be impacting stamp
purchases. Any online refference information should be removed,
downloadable files, or transferable files should also be removed. Anyt. |
| The software enables users to audibly
talk with one another in real-time. Respondents make a one-time
charge for the software, but users incur no other charges for
making local or long distance telephone calls to any other
Internet Phone user in the world (except for whatever the user
already pays monthly to whomever provides them Internet access).

[ Some justifications given for regulation in the publics interest ] |
| Do you want to learn how to set up your own radio station, conduct
interviews, record events, create and digitally edit content for radio
programs, achieve an understanding and use of internet audio
streaming/webcasting, distribute audio files and programs/music via the
Internet, and much more? |
| 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.
