Guess the warnings were true. Federal Bill 602P - 5-cents per E-mail
sent.
No more free E-mail. Bill 602P will permit the Federal Government to
charge a 5-cent charge on every delivered E-mail.
Please read the following carefully if you intend to stay online and
continue using E-mail. The last few months have revealed an alarming
trend in the Government of the United States attempting to quietly
push
through legislation that will affect our use of the Internet.
Under proposed legislation, the US Postal Service will be attempting
to
bill E-mail users out of "alternative postage fees."
Bill 602P will permit the Federal Government to charge a 5-cent
surcharge on every e-mail delivered, by billing Internet Service
Providers at source.
The consumer would then be billed in turn by the ISP. Washington DC
lawyer Richard Stepp is working without pay to prevent this
legislation
from becoming law. The US Postal Service is claiming lost revenue,
due to E-mail, is costing nearly $230,000,000 in revenue per year.
You may have noticed their recent ad campaign: "There is nothing like
a letter."
Since the average person received about 10 pieces of E-mail per day
in
1998, the cost of the typical individual would be an additional 50
cents
a day - or over $180. per year - above and beyond their regular
Internet costs. Note that this would be money paid directly to the US
Postal Service for a service they do not even provide.
You are already paying an exorbitant price for snail mail because of
bureau-cratic inefficiency. It currently takes up to 6 days for a
letter to
be delivered from coast to coast. If the US Postal Service is allowed
to tinker with E-mail, it will mark the end of the "free" Internet in
the United States.
Congressional RepresentativeTony Schnell (R) has even suggested a
"$20-$40 per month surcharge on all Internet service" above and
beyond the government's proposed E-mail charges.
Most of the major newspapers have ignored the story, the only
exception
being the Washingtonian, which called the idea of E-mail surcharge "a
useful concept who's time has come" (March 6th, 1999 editorial).
Send this E-mail to EVERYONE on your list, and tell your friends and
relatives to write their congressional representative and say "NO" to
Bill 602P. It will only take a few moments of your time and could
very well be instrumental in a bill we do not want.
PLEASE FORWARD!!!
