Associations American Alliance of Service Providers 717-861-5440 California Internet Service Providers Association Sacramento, CA 415-388-3216 Capitol Telecommunications Professionals Washington, D.C. Brian Lem, CTP Board member "Although consumers and businesses may obtain broadband access from cable and satellite providers, the incumbent local exchange carrier (LEC) is the most viable and economical option. I believe this forbearance decision, if enacted, will greatly reduce competition amongst the broadband providers, unfairly reinforce the incumbent carriers' monopoly franchise, as well as prompt layoffs amongst the broadband competitors. I urge the FCC Commissioners to revoke this forbearance decision." Washington, D.C. Dallas, TX Marc Freeman, President "HELP KEEP THE INTERNET OPEN AND COMPETITIVE Federation of Internet Solution Providers of the Americas Delray Beach, FL 561-266-9438 FISPA was founded in May, 1996 to represent the interests of Internet
Solution Providers. We call our members "SOLUTION" providers because
our members are companies who provide a whole range of services
including Internet Access, Web Hosting, Web Design and an ever
increasing number of other services all which use the Internet to
facilitate a SOLUTION. Tampa, FL 813-496-2122 Information Technology Association of America Washington, D.C. 703-522-5055 Joyce, WA 360-808-5707 "just say no to BellSouth. If they want to be unincumbered let it be Fibre only!" New Mexico Internet Professionals Association Albuquerque, NM 505 345-4771 "The RBOCs have pulled out all the stops recently - and most of us are fighting in our own states already. It is much harder for us to fight at the FCC. I appreciate that you are doing this and I have posted your information or similar info on both my email lists." New Networks Institute - TeleTruth.org New York, NY In 1992 New Networks Institute, (NNI) was created to investigate, on a totally independent impartial basis, how the break-up of AT&T and the the creation of Baby Bells had impacted subscribers. Since that time we have completed the most comprehensive research project ever undertaken, helped to initiate Class Action suits in specific states, has filed comments and complaints with the FCC, IRS, and other government agencies in the hopes of creating change that benefit the telephone customer. In 2000, New Networks Institute and associates proposed a new piece of Federal legislation --- the "Broadband Bill of Rights". In 2002, New Networks Institute became the research arm of Teletruth, a nationwide customer alliance. Teletruth is a member of the FCC Consumer Advisory Committee. North Texas Technology Council Dallas, TX 972-422-5544 Terry Traveland, Executive Director "As the Executive Director of the NTTC, I believe that granting of the requested petitions will further do harm to a region that is already reeling from the devastating affects of the Telecom bust. We believe that this ruling will do even more damage to our regions recovery and further delay the job prospects for many high-tech, Texas workers who have already been laid-off from work for more than a year." Power Line Communications Association Washington, D.C. 202-331-7773 Washington, D.C. 202-626-2445 Austin, TX 512-335-6073 Wayne Caswell "The large phone and cable companies spend more money on lobbyists and anti-competitive legislation than on R&D. Often their commercial networks don t cover needed areas, are too expensive for low-income families, or just are too slow for today's modern applications, not to mention tomorrow's apps. Since necessity is the mother of invention, Texas cities are innovating and building networks that they can't get elsewhere, with off-the-shelf parts and volunteer technicians. Now House Bill 789 wants a ban on that innovation. My Big Broadband web page offers more on this issue." Washington, D.C. 202-266-0046 John Edwards, Chairman of the Board "It is unfortunate that with the realization that broadband is a "must have", with its ability to access new content and services and has been breathing new life into our technology industry and sector that SBC is attempting to hi-jack the industry and deny competition. If the FCC agrees to such a Forbearance, all forms of distributed work capabilities will be dramatically impacted -- economic development will be threatened in rural areas; employment opportunities will be threatened for those with disabilities (including disabled Veterans), military spouses, retired knowledge workers and those seeking part-time employment, such as stay-at-home parents."
