<telecomreg () relay doit wisc edu> Subject:       FCC Sets Comment Date
for Internet Phone Call Rulemaking

The FCC has acted with astonishing speed in setting a date for
comments on the ACTA petition to regulate telephone calls via the
Internet.  It is not uncommon for rule making petitions to sit for
weeks, months, even years without action.  ACTA filed its petition on
March 6th and two days later the FCC issued a Public Notice seeking
comment.  The deadline for comments is April 8, 1996 with reply
comments due 15 days later.

After reviewing the comments, the FCC will either terminate the
proceeding without further action or issue a Notice of Proposed Rule
Making seeking further comments on a proposed rule.

Time is of the essence for those who may be interested in opposing the
Notice.  Our law firm would be available to represent parties who may
wish to file joint comments in opposition.  Please contact me
privately if you have any interest.
