In a previous post, Mr. Winslade discusses the allegations recently
that reclassification of BBSes as "businesses" for ratemaking purposes
would result in higher long distance charges as "bovine doo-doo."

Perhaps, but what exactly are the differences in the "FCC mandated
line access charges" between residences and businesses?  I may be
wrong, but thought that I heard, way back when this good-intentioned
but poorly-thought-out access charge business started, that businesses
got hit harder.

Anyone know?
