NCTA Statement Regarding Markup in the House Judiciary Committee of the "Internet Tax Freedom Act of 2007"

10/10/2007 -- NCTA Statement Regarding Markup in the House Judiciary Committee of the "Internet Tax Freedom Act of 2007":

“Today’s House Judiciary Committee action is an important step in protecting consumers and small businesses from new and burdensome state and local taxes on Internet services. Maintaining a tax-free environment for broadband services is critical for the continued deployment and adoption of broadband in the U.S. We urge Congress to quickly extend the moratorium before it expires on November 1.”

NCTA is the principal trade association for the U.S. cable industry, representing cable operators serving more than 90 percent of the nation's cable television households and more than 200 cable program networks. The cable industry is the nation’s largest broadband provider of high-speed Internet access after investing more than $110 billion over ten years to build a two-way interactive network with fiber optic technology. Cable companies also provide state-of-the-art digital telephone service to millions of American consumers.
