Los Angeles voters have voted to extend the telephone tax to include VoIP and other Internet IP communications.
The measure was cleverly worded, saying it would lower the telephone tax rate from 10 percent to nine percent, but extend it to "a wider range of telephone-like technology and allows the city to tax the routing of voice, audio, video, data or other communication information transmitted through fiber-optic coaxial cables, power lines, broadband, DSL or wireless systems.”
The city has been taxing local access services since 1967. Further legal challenges are likely.
