Senate
approves seven-year extension of ban on Internet taxes
The U.S. Senate voted in favor of a seven-year extension of
an Internet-tax ban. The House last week passed a four-year
extension. The two chambers must come to a consensus and President
George W. Bush must sign off on the bill before the tax moratorium
can be extended. The existing ban expires Thursday.
