This thing just smacked of yet another Internet "mind virus" as soon
as I saw it, so I did a DejaNews scan. Some 600 messages matching this
FCC email address have been posted to random groups over the last few
days, which is a classic "mind virus" profile. The message content is
false, and the FCC's own web site (which the posters and forwarders
obviously didn't think to consult) explicitly states this: see

http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Common_Carrier/Factsheets/ispfact.html

for the details.

I suspect this one will run and run, just like the Craig Shergold virus.
