the taxes on voice over IP are inevitable, they will be identical with the taxes on traditional phone services.

its the sales taxes that are the killer, those are still not possible on out of state purchasers because of supreme court decisions. essentially, if congress allows those, its the first step towards a new national sales tax.

I already pay taxes on my telephone, whether its voice, fax or dial-up service. This crap is nothing more than double taxation. Time to start dumping tea again.
