Re: YES!!
An income stream for government is not a tax. Tax is something that everyone pays and gets equal access to(police, fire, EMS, nice roads, water treatment and the such). An income stream is payed for by people that use the service, if you dont use it, you dont have to pay for it. |

As usual you try to obfuscate the issue by playing the semantics card. It may not be a tax in name, but it is an income stream for the government that the politicians don't have to worry about paying a price for. Why raise taxes to cover the port authority (risking a citizen backlash and being voted out)when you can jack up the price of a service for a captive audience and force out competitors at what is essentially gunpoint.

"Taxes on people who don't actually vote in a state is a favorite with politicians."
Umm, what 'taxes' are you talking about. This is a ruling that states the unlicensed spectrum is just that, unlicensed. The ruling has NOTHING to do with taxes, or fees, or 'homeland security'. The ruling just codifies the right of any user to use any 'unlicensed' spectrum, wherever they may be.
As usual, you attempt to obfuscate the issue by declaring it a 'tax issue', when in reality it's nothing of the sort.
