[comp.dcom.telecom] Information Needed on 900 Regulations

emmanuel@well.uucp (Emmanuel Goldstein) (01/10/91)

Can someone post a rough translation of the FCC laws regarding 900
service? What I'm interested in primarily are regulations concerning
announcement of charges, ANY rules for billing, and other items to
protect the public from fraud. Thanks.


[Moderator's Commandments:
1) Thou shalt read thy charge-per-call rapidly in a slurred voice.
2) Thou shalt operate behind mail drop services in far-away places.
3) Thou shalt refuse to respond to telco billing complaints/chargebacks.
4) If a customer refuses payment to telco, and telco charges it back
   to thee, then thou shalt forward it to a sleazy collection agency.
5) Thou shalt keep moving thy boiler-room from one location to another,
   a step ahead of the Postal Inspector; but preferably keep it in the
   midwest USA where WATS rates are the least expensive. 
6) Thou shalt honor thy father and mother by trying to program your
   computer to not call their phone; but if you can't, that's okay, 
   don't worry about it. They'll have to live with it.
7) Thou shalt not take the name of thy guardian angel, Harold Greene
   in vain. 

Thou art welcome.  PAT]
