The House Tuesday passed a bill that would make permanent the ban on taxing Internet access. The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to this bill that Congress has temporarily extended three times over the past 16 years.
The bill not only ban states and local government’s internet access taxes but also ban any other form of Internet-only taxes, although its aimed primarily at taxes on Internet access service. It would also eliminate the grandfathering of ISP taxes on a handful of states, though that could change in a Senate version or conference between the two bills.
