Loopholes for the masses

If congress bans net taxes then states "stand to lose billions in local telecommunications taxes on phone service. With voice service moving rapidly to the Internet, there is little to stop your local phone company from saying the $50 you are paying them each month is for Internet access and not phone service, and should thus be tax-free." [WSJ] Sounds like a gain for consumers though.
