Betsy Hart: Shadowy group is taking control of Internet! http://www.azstarnet.com/public/dnews/0623CV2.html Imposition of taxes and other power plays.

Increasing rates to ISP's and backbone providers is and reverse method of taxation on the consumer in the end for government benefit, UNACCEPTABLE PERIOD. Henry
