Something good passed Congress finally. No tax on internet access. The problem is that broadband here is nowhere near the levels of other countries. Many other countries have 15mbps as a low package (and very cheap). This is a problem...

Backers at the time warned that Internet use could suffer if tax-happy states imposed new surcharges on the monthly fees that Internet providers like America Online charge their customers.
But some senators said the ban would require states to raise taxes in other areas to make up for the millions of dollars they stand to lose as telephone service and other taxable activities migrate to the Internet.
