Say NO!
to Internet taxes


As some of you may know, we have recently won a battle with the state of Tennessee so that we no longer have to charge sales tax to our customers who live in Tennessee. But that victory may be short-lived.

The Federal Internet tax moratorium has recently expired, which means that new taxes could show up on your monthly Internet access bill - unless the U.S. Senate acts now. The House of Representatives has already passed a permanent extension of the moratorium, but the Senate is still considering the issue.

A bill called S. 150 would permanently prevent taxes on your Internet access service. But a competing measure called S. 2084 would allow numerous state and local taxes on Internet access. If the Senate fails to act or passes S. 2084, we feel it is our obligation to inform all of our valued customers that new taxes will increase the price of your service. In fact, it is likely that in the absence of the moratorium, high telephone tax rates will be applied to your Internet access bill. Only a vote for S. 150 will give consumers permanent protection against Internet access taxes. If you would like to express your opinion, please call your Senators at 202-224-3121, and let them know that you want them to vote FOR senate bill S. 150. If you don't know your state senators names, that's OK. Just tell the operator who answers which state you live in.

Please take a moment of your time to make this call.

Thank you.
