FCC approves new Internet phone taxes

WASHINGTON--An estimated 4 million subscribers to Internet phone services like Vonage could see new fees on their bills under a plan approved Wednesday by federal regulators.The Federal Communications Commission voted unanimously at its monthly meeting here to require all voice over Internet Protocol services that connect to the public-switched telephone network--as opposed to using peer-to-peer technology, like Skype--to contribute to the Universal Service Fund.
The $7.3 billion fund, which has been a feature of U.S. policy for more than 70 years, subsidizes telephone service in rural and low-income areas. It also runs a controversy-plagued program called E-Rate that provides discounted Internet and phone service to schools and libraries.

Seems some people in the GNOME camp are getting to enjoy the "service" from Continental. While my trip with them to New Orleans was fairly uneventful, I have noted that their flight attendants are rude, their 1-800 people are rude and unhelpful, and they seem to be allergic to the idea that people might need to change times and names on flights. Now contrast that with excellent and friendly service from Westjet, both with ticket changes and their flight attendants. Maybe these old airlines really just die...
