JOIN TeleTruth - An Alliance for Customer Rights
Don't let the local phone monopolies destroy the promise of broadband
and strangle the communications revolution.
› Are phone and broadband services essential to your life?
› Does your business depend on BellSouth, Verizon, SBC, or Qwest?
(Ameritech, Southwestern Bell, Pac Bell, GTE, SNET)
› Are you angry that no one is fighting for your telecom and broadband
rights?
Right now is a critical time for all phone customers. We all know
that prices for local services keep going up, customer service keeps
getting worse, local phone competition is practically non-existent,
and the promise of high-speed DSL has been a nightmare.
But new Congressional laws are now being proposed by the Bell-funded
politicians that will make the current awful situation EVEN WORSE!
Forget about the regulators like the FCC or the state public utility
commissions. They are under-financed, understaffed, overburdened,
and politically controlled by the very companies they are supposed
to regulate.
Unfortunately, no consumer or customer group has stepped forward to
lead the fight against the incredibly powerful local phone monopolies,
the Baby Bells, and defend your telecom and broadband rights.
INTRODUCING TeleTruth
TeleTruth is …
› a response to the dire situation small businesses and individual
customers face and the urgent need to immediate action.

› led by the nation’s leading expert of the break-up of the phone
monopoly in the 1980s and founder of the research organization, New

ADVOCATING Choice and Fair Pricing
Lobby Congress, the FCC and other regulators for you.
Stop Bad Bills — TeleTruth has launched a grassroots campaign
to stop a horrendous bill proposed by Representatives Billy Tauzin
(R-LA) and John Dingell (D-MI) that will harm all competition, and
thus all phone customers.
See: http://www.newnetworks.com/TauzinDingellisevil.htm
Lobby for your rights — Through our filings, complaints and research
initiatives, TeleTruth and its members will help present your views
to Congress and other regulators, and not some campaign-financed,
Bell company view.
Defend your broadband rights.
The Broadband Bill of Rights — TeleTruth has proposed new legislation
called the Broadband Bill of Rights. We have a number of Senators
and Representatives interested in this revolutionary concept. See:http://www.newnetworks.com/broadbandbill.htm
Co-signers — TeleTruth is signing up thousands of customers to
'co-sponsor' the Broadband Bill of Rights. See: http://www.newnetworks.com/alliance/signatures.php?view=1
Lower phone bill charges and get refunds - NOW!
We believe you're owed money and refunds today — TeleTruth has
filed numerous pro-customer regulatory filings. For example, we have
requested that the FCC immediately lower or remove the "FCC Subscriber
Line Charge" from all phone bills, saving companies hundreds
of dollars annually, See:
And we have requested an investigation into $2.5 billion dollars in
"Vaporware" (missing equipment) charges in New York, with
immediate refunds. NNI has also filed regulatory actions with the
FCC, IRS and worked with laws firms to initiate Class Action lawsuits,
with the goal of getting $18 billion back… and counting.
Phone bill auditing — TeleTruth is offering our member companies
a unique
service – a full audit of their telecom expenses. Did you know
that approximately 50% of all audits result in REFUNDS and a reduction
of monthly charges? TeleTruth is proud to announce this service is
available for small business to national corporations.
Protecting Competition

the results of our new national survey of Internet Service Providers

caused by the local Bell companies--- and how it harms your phone
and broadband rights. This Report will be presented to Congress and
the FCC.
