Keep the Internet a free-trade zone

The Internet is the nerve system of the economy of the 21st century. That's why the U.S. Congress should pass a stronger version of the 1998 Internet Tax Freedom Act, which expired Oct. 31.

Rep. Chris Cox, R-Newport Beach, has co-sponsored HR 49, the Internet Tax Non-Discrimination Act of 2003, which would make permanent the ban on the taxation of Internet access. The bill passed the House on Sept. 17.

Makes one wonder who's behind the whole idea to start taxing the Internet... Hmmmmm!

Thanks for posting this!! I wondered about where this went after October 31 came and went.
