INTERNET PHONE FACES REGULATORY FIGHT


The Canadian communications regulatory agency says companies 
offering online phone services must pay a fee to local phone 
companies to help keep local phone rates low.  


ShadowTel, the small Ontario company which recently announced 
it planned to offer telephone service on the Internet, appears 
headed toward a fight with federal regulators over whether it 
must pay a special fee to Canada's phone companies.
