"Late news" - Crains Cleveland Business 8/31/98 [Note: How was it determined that these were Internet calls? Well, until recently, ICG did not provide dialtone in Cleveland to anyone except ISP's.] Ameritech Loses Regulatory Dispute The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio last week ended a long battle between Denver-based ICG Communications INC. and Ameritech Corp. over fees charged to connect Internet calls. The PUCO ruled in favor of ICG, which contended that Ameritech owed it $4 million for connecting Ameritech customers' calls to Internet service providers. Ameritech previously refused to pay the charges, arguing that Internet calls are long-distance calls, not local calls, and thus weren't subject to the mandated connection fees. Ameritech spokesman Kim Norris said Ameritech has not decided whether to appeal the ruling. -- "You know, I've decided lizards aren't too smart." --Me, to "Junior", one of my iguanas
