  • We agree with TeleTruth that the FCC is violating the law because it has not properly taken into account the impacts on small telecom businesses including ISPs and CLECs as required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
  • As a small ISP I feel that the FCC has not protected our interests and is letting the Bell monopolies take even more control of the critical public infrastructure.
  • The ISPs have been working in the public interest --- And we have helped to bring the Internet and Broadband to customers.
  • We offer unique services --- (Give the FCC some examples)
  • We believe these new laws shrink the choices for all Customers who use Broadband and Internet Services.
  • The FCC has had inadequate enforcement of the Telecom Act which has unfairly harmed entrepreneurs who have invested in bringing Internet service to the public.
  • Therefore, we believe the FCC should stop these proceedings immediately because the damage to our industry will be permanent and profound
