** The chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee has voiced
   opposition to FCC access fees for Internet Service providers.
   "The cure for telephone network congestion isn't putting more toll
   booths on the Information Superhighway," Sen. John McCain (R-AZ),
   said. "The solution is to provide incentives to telephone companies
   to install new data-friendly digital switches that will not only
   alleviate congestion but also provide PC users with much
   higher-speed access to the Internet."
