> On October 15th, 2008, Kevin Martin, Chairman of the FCC (Federal 
> Communications Commissions), announced a proposal to reform "intercarrier 
> compensation". Major telephone carriers, like AT&T, Verizon & Sprint, are 
> aggressive advocates of this reform as they would reap millions from this 
> proposal. Who will pay for it? You will.
>
> "This could be potentially a billion-dollar giveaway to phone monopolies, 
> paid for out of consumers' pocketbooks," said Chris Murray, an attorney 
> with Consumers Union.
>
> What does this mean to you?
> In addition to higher phone bills, it would mean the end of free 
> conferencing services such as FreeConference.com. These Services create 
> low–cost options for consumers, incremental revenues for long distance 
> carriers, and additional business opportunities for rural telephone 
> companies.
>
> With the elimination of these systems, we will no longer be able to 
> provide our members with free conferencing services and you will be stuck 
> with higher phone bills. Meanwhile, carriers like AT&T, Verizon & Sprint 
> are raking in the profits.
>
> Help Us Keep Your Conferencing Free
> Let your US Senator or Congressman know of the negative impact this FCC 
> proposal will have on you.
>
> Be sure to reference FCC's Docket No. 01-92 on all communication.
>
> Your IMMEDIATE action is the only thing that will keep this proposal from 
> becoming a LAW! Please respond today!
