John,

You may have gotten caught by a hoax.  I checked the FCC's web site, and
pulled down some text about this:

In December 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requested
public comment on issues relating to the charges that
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and similar companies pay to local
telephone companies. On May 7, 1997, the FCC decided to leave the
existing rate structure in place. In other words, the FCC decided not to
allow local telephone companies to impose per-minute access
charged on ISPs. 

Please Note: There is no open comment period in this proceeding. If you
have recently seen a message on the Internet stating that in
response to a request from local telephone companies, the FCC is requesting
comments to <isp@xxxxxxx> by February 1998, be aware
that this information is inaccurate. At 12:58 PM 2/4/98 -0500, you wrote:
