[Boatanchors] Internet taxes and regulation

[GRANT YOUNGMAN]

This is one (and only one) side of the issue, from people who would rather boost the income coffers and yacht sizes of large ISPs, ultimately out of YOUR pocket.  But boosting the wealth of corporate interests seems to be what we’re all about these days.

My one (and only one) opinion is that it’s a red herring.  And certainly one-sided.
