Two weeks ago I reported about the Internet tax moratorium, which was possibly on it's last legs (http://icrontic.com/news/internet_tax_morotorium_is_about_die). Thursday it got a boost.

The House Judiciary completed a vote at 38-0 (http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20071011-extension-of-internet-access-tax-ban-passes-house-committee.html). The bill to extend was introduced by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), and can now be considered by the full house of representatives.

Proposals to make the ban on internet connection taxes permanent have been repeatedly shot down. This bill would extend the moratorium to November 2011.
