Since I already have to pay a long distance charge when I access the Internet as do many others I find this unreasonable and inexcusable. I already pay a BASIC fee for phone service that runs right at $39.00 a month. We should have free access to the Internet since we are also paying monthly fees to our Internet provider and as I previously noted some of us already pay long distance charges due to the areas we live in and lack of local access numbers for our providers. I know that my phone company has posted pretty significant profits for the last few years and most of the larger ones have also. I am a Parkinson's Caregiver and rely on the Internet to stay in touch with other Caregivers and Patients. The Internet for my particular patient is his only access to and interface with other Parkinson's patients and is a key element to his well being. I urge YOU and hope you influence others to VOTE NO on this bill. Please consider the "Little People". Those on FIXED INCOMES, HOUSE-BOUND INDIVIDUALS, whose only freedom is the Internet, and MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL those people that are suffering from DISEASES and IN PARTICULAR the INCURABLE DISEASES. They find SUPPORT, RELIEF and HOPE through contacts and friendships made on the Internet. There is much good done through the Internet, why should this be taken from the reach of the groups most in need of access? Has our Government become so insensitive to the needs and rights of the individual? PLEASE VOTE NO and INFLUENCE OTHERS AS WELL. Prove to us that we do count. Do something positive that helps us all. Sincerely, Ms. Byrna D. Hylander [log in to unmask] 136 Blackey Bandy Road Bethpage, TN 37022-9100 615-943-7378 _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
