Re: Broadband ISPs taxed for "generating light energy"

Well there's of course back taxes charged for a period of ~ 3 years or more, plus interest and late payment penalties on those back taxes On 10/10/06, Roy <r.engehausen@gmail.com> wrote:

A Cisco ZX GBIC produces a max of 4.77 dBm (or less than 4mw). 4mw corresponds to 35 watt hours in one year.

However, since the customer must beam back light as part of the exchange then you must track the number of pulses in both directions and determine the difference. Some days the customer gets more energy and some days it doesn't. That should affect the tax.
