That was finally repealed a few years ago (and promptly replaced by a 'fee' from the telephone company). Wyatt, one time, the telephone tax from the Spanish-American War.

Right now most providers use a sliding scale fee based on the speed you purchase. What will happen when this goes into effect is they'll start with a xxx gb per month limit on downloads and, like a cell phone company, charge you a penny or so per kb over the limit. They'll manage their networks, just like the cell phone companies. And the FCC will wonder what happened when they start getting complaints over $1000 internet bills.
