Carl,
I sent the following e-mail message to Ron Brown. If there are better ways of reaching him, or I can do anything else to help, let me know.
Good luck!

Dear Mr. Brown:
I write today to ask that you restore free access of PTO records to Carl Malamud of the Internet Multicasting Service. The services Carl provides are valuable and go a long way in accomplishing goals set out by Vice President Al Gore: to put information in the hands of the people. *ALL* the people.
Vice President Gore has cautioned against creating a society of technology "have and have nots." By restricting Carl's access to PTO data, your agency is perpetuating the very system which our own vice president -- and, presumambly the administration under which you work -- has vowed to fight against.
As a member of the National Press Club I can personnally attest to the fine work Carl has done in efforts to connect everyone to the Internet. Carl has a genuine goal of connecting as many people as possible to as wide a variety of information as possible. I sincerly hope your agency will not construct roadblocks to that goal.
