NO sooner had Netropolitan written about taxing the Internet (30 November)
than the US Treasury released its own report on the concept. Oddly the Treasury
does not like the idea and you can find out why on
http://www.ustreas.gov/treasury/tax/internet.html.
It鈥檚 another example of the contradictions the Net can throw up鈥攁 trade
organisation says it wants to be taxed more heavily and the government declines.
What is the world coming to?
