Roy:

I urge everyone to heed  this rapidly vanishing opportunity to comment on a
bill pending in Congress to protect wireless carriers from liability in
order to grant "parity" with land line providers - by granting them
immunity from liability.   I would like
make one corrention.   Wireless Carriers ARE designated as public utilities
in at least two states that I know of - California and Ohio.  In 1993,
prior to enactment of theTelecom Act of 1996, California granted this
status to their exisitng carriers who wanted to add wireless services to
land line services.  In October, 1998, this designation was extended to the
new wireless carriers - in order to grant "parity" with the new commercial
carriers and provide equal access and not discrimminate among carriers as
provided under the Telecom Act of 1996.
