It's Not About Taxes, Vonage. Really.: Page 2 of 2

Really, it's not about taxes. Did I say taxes? My bad. We're all for lighter regulation of VoIP, you know, we even said that. Just as long as that means we still get to keep lightening your wallet for taxes whose initial purpose we can't even remember anymore. Oh yeah, rural service. Gotta make sure those people in the hills still have a phone to call granny. Why just today, my granny sent me an IM and asked if I could pick her up some new earphones for her iPod. I told her sure, I'd drop them off when I came over to watch "The Sopranos" episode she Tivo'd for me on Sunday.

Now, you'd hate it if granny didn't have a phone, right? That's what it's about. Taxes. Did I say taxes? I meant my job. Wait, strike that. It's about granny. And light regulation. Heavy on the taxes.
