Greetings!

I've been hearing roumors about the FCC charging us EXTRA for using modems 
(as opposed to just using voice).  How could the FCC regulate this, as it 
seems to me that the phone companies alone would be responsible for this.

If this is true, this is certainly just a scheme by some beaurocrat to 
make an extra buck and hinder us from communicating with each other in 
this manner.  What could be done to stop it?
