Is a Temporary Moratorium on Internet Taxes Better for Keeping Pace with New Technologies?

  • We need to ensure that all Americans have access to affordable and open high speed internet. It is crucial for economic growth especially in the underserved rural and urban areas. We need a National policy that supports this while providing consumer and worker protections. "A reasonable national goal would be 10 megabits per second download speeds and 1 megabits per second upload speeds by 2010 - enough to insure a decent amount of capacity." Investment could be stimulated through tax incentives, universal service fund reform, and leveraging public monies.
    The Communications Workers Of America are at work on this with our Speed Matters campaign.
