The existing federal moratorium on taxes on Internet access will expire on November 1, 2007. Legislation is currently being debated in both houses of the U.S. Congress - H.R. 743 and S. 156 - to avoid this expiration of the current Internet Tax Moratorium. Passage of the 'Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act of 2007' is the crucial first step needed to ensure that Internet access is not subject to further taxes that would limit consumer choice, delay innovation, and often require consumers to pay more for service. Since 1998, Congress has determined that Internet access should not be subject to multiple state or local taxes, and also that electronic commerce should not be subject to unfair and discriminatory taxes. Wireless is an incredible and ever-evolving resource, as is the Internet, and increasingly many of America's 243 million wireless Americans are now accessing mobile Internet content while on-the-go. Congress should protect American wireless consumers once and for all, and share in a bi-partisan goal of expanding affordable Internet access to all Americans.
