I've got a contract wiring in a new radio station studio (KKIQ in Walnut Creek CA) that's gotta be on the air on Thursday; they just laid carpet on Friday. We're working 9AM til midnight every day til done, so you won't be hearing much from me until another week passes. Please see the article on the proposed "Telecommunications Act of 1991". It's a bad deal for everyone except the RBOCs (Regional Bell Operating Companies). Write letters to the Usual Suspects who claim to represent us. Ask 'em what they are doing about it. Ask them for a copy of the legislation (did you know they're are REQUIRED to do legislative searches FOR YOU FOR FREE upon request. So request!) (Obviously the foregoing is of interest to us U.S.ers mainly... if you don't know about the U.S. phone system, well, it's a long story... it's in theory "private" not gov't, and it was "deregulated" ("unleashed" is more like it) and it's a war of euphemistic bloodsuckery from here on in... guess who's blood.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FidoNews 8-49 Page 2 9 Dec 1991 ====================================================================== ARTICLES ====================================================================== From: dyett@phad.hsc.usc.edu (Donald Yett) Organization: University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA Newsgroups: comp.org.fidonet Subject: What the RBOCs aren't saying in their radio ads about info services. Date: 1 Dec 91 03:21:36 GMT Lines: 1201 /* Multi-part */ -------------------------------------- To the moderator of comp.org.fidonet : -------------------------------------- I would like you to distribute this to the people on the fidonet, either through your newsletter, or an independant mailing. Many people have heard the advertising from the baby-bells voicing their opposition to this bill, and somebody has to set the record straight as to what the truth is (in why they oppose the bill)... The passage of this bill is crucial. Please give this the widest distribution possible, with the recommendation that the readers call AND write their congressman with support for this bill, as the RBOCs (* RBOC == Regional Bell Operating Companies -- tomj *) are asking people to do (in opposition) of the bill. With the recent federal court and supreme court decisions allowing the bells into the information services marketplace, this bill is the only thing standing in their way of making an information services monopoly. Please read the bill, and I'm sure you will agree with me. Everybody with a modem should read this, as it may effect their future, and even the future of BBSs and the FidoNet. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- H.R. 3515 -- Transcribed by James D. Bryant II on Nov. 24, 1991 I have proofed this twice, it should not contain any errors or omissions, I can't access my spell checker right now, there may be a typo or two somewhere.. The following document is a full transcription of the Telecommunications Act of 1991. If this bill does not pass, the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) will be able to force all other information services out of business. Please TELL your Congressman and Senators, and all members of the FidoNews 8-49 Page 3 9 Dec 1991 involved committees to vote YES on this bill. The RBOCs have been conducting a massive disinformation campaign on the radio bashing the sponsers of this bill and saying that if this bill passes, that the public will not be able to use online information services leaving the impression on the listener that they are the ONLY ones that can provide these services. This bill will also provide for open competition among phone companies at the local level. This is the second reason that the RBOCs oppose this bill. The following information is from the SW Bell brochure on the subject : "IT SOUNDS EXCITING The exciting news is that we already have the technology to put these services to work for us through the seven regional holding companies -- Ameritech, Bell Atlantic, BellSouth, NYNEX, Pacific Telesis Group, Southwestern Bell Corpora- tion, and U.S. West. Some larger businesses in urban areas already use a variety of information services. But, they are not an option for most small businesses and the general public. That's because making the services available to everyone depends on the regional holding companies...." Information services depend on cables and switching facilities owned and operated by the RBOCs. Having them in the industry is a massive conflict of interest. They want their monopoly back! -------------------------------------------------------------- .page H.R. 3515 102nd Congress, 1st Session [Page 01 of 35] H.R. 3515 To amend the Communications Act of 1934 to encourage competition in the provision of electronic information services, to foster the continued diversity of information sources and services, to preserve the universal availability of basic telecommunications services, and for other purposes. ---------------------------------------------------------- FidoNews 8-49 Page 4 9 Dec 1991 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES October 8, 1991 Mr. Cooper (for himself, Mr. Bliley, Mr. Synar, Mr. Schaefer, and Mr. Bryant) introduced the following bill, which was referred jointly to the Committees on Energy and Commerce and the Judiciary. ---------------------------------------------------------- A BILL To amend the Communications Act of 1934 to encourage competition in the provision of electronic information services, to foster the continued diversity of information sources and services, to preserve the universal availability of basic telecommunications services, and for other purposes. (* Editorial comment: the article is 1250 lines long; too long for inclusion on FidoNews. You can request it from FidoNews! (1:1/1, +1-415-863-2739, HST) as file TA91.ART. It is plain CR/LF ASCII with Formfeed characters for page breaks. The proposed changes are signifigant; they're hacking the Comm. act of 34, some rather basic changes. While it's worded in positive terms ("improve quality of service" and all that rot) the "quality" will be enhanced for the providers (RBOCs) not us! -- tomj *) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fredric L. Rice The Skeptic Tank, 1:102/901.9 Boys and girls of the Fido Network, we might have a bit of a problem, and it's a problem that, if apathy can be broken, is easilly placed out of our need to worry about. After requesting listings of files available on several FidoNet systems both locally to mine and among sites around the United States, I find that we still have -- many of us -- software packages that have not been placed into the public domain yet are nonetheless still available for public download. The so-called dirty dozen list of pirated software packages is being ignored. I was shocked to find that my very own system had two pirated packages that a little effort on my part uncovered. Remember back around 1982 when a package by Sega was being distributed around the network? A hacked package that said, upon power-up, that it was a Public Domain package yet was none of that and was placed onto the dirty dozen list. A total bummer because it was such a cool game that I probably have a copy around here, somewhere, even though it's a pirated package and I've gone through my floppies looking for pirated stuff. FidoNews 8-49 Page 5 9 Dec 1991 I have cleaned my Fidos' house if only to protect my ass. To perhaps half of the systems that I found still to cary known pirated software package, I sent a note along with some historical comments about the package they had available. In all cases, however, no note or comment was returned. After a week or two, after downloading the files listings again, the majority still had known pirated materials available for download. Some _had_ removed some of the software. That's understandable, of course. There is no cause for a sysop these days to believe anything someone says yet it creates a problem for the Fido Network: an opening for the telephone concerns to further attack our public networks while they impose upon us business rates. If all the opposistion must do is request our file listings and mark those that are pirated, any court will find us boys and girls to be anything _but_ a lawfull collection of computer nerds. And then there is another method of attack that we should guard against. So many christians, out of a love for their jesus, would have us remove the pronographic materials from our systems upon pain of lawsuit if their holy and untried children were ever to be caught panting over a GIF file displayed on their screens. There are three things that I did to protect myself that FidoNet SysOps used to do yet seem to have walked away from a little bit. It's a sound sequence of protection, I think: o Uploads to a file directory that may not be downloaded from until it's evaluated by the SysOp and then moved to a public area where it may be accessed. It's too easy to plant evidence onto our systems and then download it for use against us. o Evaluation of software packages currently existing on the SysOps system every now and then for pirated materials. It shouldn't be needed very often unless information about a software package comes to light o Validation of all Users (hack-spit) ages before they are granted access to certain GIF files. With a suitable comment that the files depict sexual activities and should be considered art or something. We must, FidoNet, clean up our act otherwise the commercial mail systems that provide end-user to end-user mail services will end us for sure. We are in the way and they'll move heaven and earth to remove _us_.

Chris Harrower, 1:270/417 DISNEY...just the mention of the name brings many happy memories. The first time your parents took you to see Jungle Book...that trip to Disneyland, when you were finally big enough to ride the Matterhorn - then screamed the whole time because you wanted to GET OFF NOW...the first time you rounded the bend, and saw the Grand Floridian Resort Hotel in all it's splendor and glory at Walt Disney World, and saw that beautiful hotel...and many more FidoNews 8-49 Page 7 9 Dec 1991 -- Fantasia, Snow White, The Disney/MGM Studios Theme Park, even Dick Tracy and Arachnophobia... Now, you can relive all those memories again with the Disney Discussions conference...a place to remember the old, and keep in touch with the new. And cover ALL facets of the Disney empire -- THEME PARKS...it all started July 17, 1955 in an orange grove in Anaheim, California. A revolution that would shake the world to it's roots, and begin a vacation empire untouched by anything before or since. In October, 1971, in a mosquito infested swamp outside Kissimmee, Florida, the lock was turned, and, in the words of Time Magazine, "as a shrine, Walt Disney World is surpassed only by Kyoto, Mecca, and the Vatican." 13.3 million people a year visit Walt Disney World. Then there's Tokyo Disneyland, and the soon to open Euro Disney Resort. And you can learn about them all in the Disney Discussions Conference. We have on-going reports on the 20th anniversary celebration of the Walt Disney World vacation kingdom, answering your questions on what YOU can expect when you next visit. We also are working on having someone in person, reporting on the grand opening of Euro Disney, this April in Marne-Le-Valle, France! MOTION PICTURES...the list is endless, and a part of everyone's childhood (and adulthood!). From "Steamboat Willie" through the current critically acclaimed hit "Beauty And The Beast", the Disney Discussions Conference covers 'em all. And we talk about the other studios under the Disney umbrella...Touchstone, Hollywood Pictures...what would Walt think? MORE...there's much more to the Disney Discussions conference...we have "resident experts" who work at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, who can answer those "inside" questions you always wanted to ask. We have lifelong collectors and enthusiasts who can answer (or ask!) even the toughest trivia question with ease! We talk about software, trading cards, and anything and everything Disney. And now, we're available on the Zone One Backbone! Just ask your contact to add you, and send me a message when you're up, so we can "formally welcome" you to the club! Join in the Disney Discussions conference...you'll be very glad you did. Now it's time to say goodbye to all our company... ()_() M - I - C (see you real soon) (_) K - E - Y (Why? Because we love you) M - O - U - S - E (NOTE: To answer the inevitable question, I am not now, and never have been an employee of The Walt Disney Company, or any subsidiary. I have no "vested financial interest" in the promotion of Disney, but have a life-long love for the work started by Walter Elias Disney, and this is one way I can say "thank you" to him. I started or participate in Disney conferences on WWIVNet and USENet, and new conferences are starting soon on RIME and VirtualNet, with more to follow.
