Just another way for the goverment to get a cut of the pie. I suspect this is aimed at public wifi services or municiple networks. Just another way for the goverment to get a cut of the pie.

Believe me, I'll take just about any dig at King George that I can but this story is pure crap. Put up some real supporting evidence or let this story die.

As new technology arises the government finds new taxes to push onto the consumer while old technology falls to the wayside and is no longer a revenue generator for them.

I know nothing of Wifi or anything else under 2.4GHz falling under the bill.
