preparing restrictive regulations to assure "responsible use" of the Internet. The FCC is reportedly cooperating with other national and international agencies to coordinate these regulations. Several former eastern bloc countries and Italy are reportedly coordinating their internal regulation planning with the FCC.
On July 20th Reed Hundt was in Moscow and gave a speech inviting the russians to cooperate in al's global information infrastructure.... what the hell that ever is...... Hundt laid down a number of things that he hoped the Russians would agree to do. A week later I saw a statement that the Russians had signed on. Hundts speech ...about 400 lines long can apparently befound on the FCC gopher. At least that is where the person who sent to me said he found it. I read hundts speech. I am convinced that *IT* is genuine. the rest of the UPI piece about the licensing seems BOGUS for sure
