Agreed, unfortunately. The government has gotten such a sense of entitlement to taxes, that if something should come by that isn't taxes, they'll do their darndest to find a way to tax it. A lot of people are using phone-over-IP now [we tried it, and it didn't work for us, but it's still a cool concept] and one big benefit is that because it doesn't use the traditional telecom lines, it's not subject to the telecom fees and taxes [which, on my 14.xx local phone bill, totalled 9.xx a month]. So of course they're all worried, and the headlines say 'Government losing money to VoIP', like the money was theirs in the first place.
