Yes, someone on the list is going to school me about internet tax
moratorium, sighing, no less. After being in business for 10 years, and
having my attorneys argue with ILECs and CLECs about exact meaning of what
constitutes telecommunication and what constitutes "internet access", I'm
going to have someone on nylug explain ITNA/ITFA to me. Not. Freaking
amateurs. *groan*

I repeat, again, the internet tax moratorium has absolutely *nothing* to 
do about sales taxes on anything that is not *internet access*. Go to the 
URL that you posted. Read it. Talk to me after you do.
