PCWorld.com - Feds Slap Fees on AT&T's VoIP

Nice try AT&T, but the world is obviously not ready for deregulation. It'll be an uphill battle, but the present paradigm will break at some point. Meanwhile, there are those local and state jurisdictions who will want to continue taxing Internet access.

politicians are reluctant to forgo the $billions in tax revenue they collect. Removing taxes on Internet access will happen as rapidly as the Sales Tax Simplification process now underway around the country, maybe slower.
