Re: Mr. McCoy's 11/16 post, good point about services like Prodigy not 
being common carriers. But perhaps the common carrier doctrine should be 
extended to such services. Even in the absence of doing so, it is 
possible for state PUCs and legislatures to produce a similar result in 
the area of intrastate provision of "information services."
McCoy's point re: the ECPA in the context of his post, is also 
appropriate. I'd assume there is such a "fit."
