Timing is key, please read and, if you choose, take the action below immediately. On Thursday, February 20th, 2003, the FCC will hold a critical vote on four major issues, three of which directly affect the regulations that currently require Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILECs, or phone companies) share their essential facilities with their competitors. NOTE!: We believe a decision that would negatively effect our business and your service is highly unlikely. Nevertheless, it's important that our customers make their views known to help head-off future regulatory battles. Specifically, sending this message lets policy-makers know how individual people feel. In our opinion, it is highly appropriate for you to be a big influence on the decisions that get made in government telecommunications policy. It also helps avoid independent service providers having to fight this issue continually so we can focus our efforts on better serving you! We strongly urge you to read about these proposed changes and express your point of view to the FCC. Our friends at the Texas ISP Association (TISPA) have compiled the following information, including easy-to-use communication forms for you to respond to each of the proposed measures: http://www.tispa.org/FCC/index1.asp Please help send a clear message to the FCC *today*. Thank you for your business and for your support in this important matter.
