From the article:
"...FCC commissioners took the middle ground in the dispute. The agency
agreed that because Internet usersbounce to Web sites all over the
world, calls to access the Net shouldn't really be classified as
local.Nevertheless, the agency ruled connections to the Internet should
still be exempt from long-distance charges.

"This means that those consumers who continue to access the Internet by
dialing a seven-digit number will not incur long distance charges when
they do so," the ruling said. ..."
