I do have a question. Although it is clear who those are who would like to keep the moratorium on taxes on Internet access, consumers, e-business etc, it is not clear who the opponent are. Could you please explain who are the opponents of a moratorium on taxes on Internet access? Thank you, Peggy... 21918@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 02 Oct 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_743.html#16844 MyWireless.org® used Tax Filing Day 2007 to call for “tax freeze” moratoriums to be placed on all new federal, state and local wireless and Internet access taxes. Bi-partisan legislation placing moratoriums, on both wireless and Internet access taxes, has been introduced in 2007 in both the U. S. House of Representatives and Senate during this current session of Congress. Last year, the average tax burden placed upon America’s 235+ million wireless consumers had climbed to over 17% on average in taxes, fees and surcharges per monthly bill.

By implementing new taxes will result killing internet commerce. I believe that this could do serious harm to the economy.

These businesses and homeowners no longer can get or do business with others outside their State, because on-line business need to charge tax with shipping cost and it makes it way to expensive to buy the product on-line. Business owner(s) online business close do business the lack of sales. Now business owners no longer can afford house payments, so now the house becomes a repo, the bank ends up taking the loss on the property. See how this snowballs?... 16676@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 26 Jun 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_743.html#16460 Here is a paper in support of extending the moratorium on taxes on Internet access. http://www.itif.org/files/ITFA.pdf... 16460@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 18 Jun 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_743.html 3/1/2007: Referred to House subcommittee.
