excerpts of the Telecom Act for easy viewing

The "Useful Documents" section of the Universal Service/Network
Democracy Web site contains a pointer to the full text of the Telecom
Act.  The full text version isn't broken up into separate files for
the various sections.  You might want to take the time to download
the whole thing and save it for viewing on your local machine.  Or
you might prefer to concentrate upon the pieces of most immediate
relevance for the on-line seminar.  To assist you in that task, I've
prepared a set of excerpts.  You can reach them directly at
	http://www.info-ren.org/projects/universal-service/excerpts.html
or from the "Useful Documents" page.

If you have not already done so, please take the time to read through
Section 254 of the Act.  This section provides the basis of the
discussion of Universal Service.  We should try to refer to it and
related FCC material such as the Notice of Proposed Rule Making and
the Request for Further Comments as we continue the seminar.  I'll
put together excerpts from the other documents as we proceed.
