The above attempt by the FCC is simply a rehash of Amendment to Part
69 of the Commision's Rules Relating to Enhanced Service Providers
(Federal Register July 1987 Vol. 52 page 28317) authored by Ruth
Milkman of the FCC Common Carrier Bureau, Tarrifs Division. The FCC
granted a surcharge waiver to GTE to establish Telenet. Now the FCC
wants their money and the above actions are how they feel it's best to
go about it.
I'm guessing that if enough screaming, gnashing of teeth and breast
beating occurs, the FCC will get their money direct from GTE and then
GTE will get a rate increase and life on Earth will continue as
before.
