It's a busy Expo. Full house this morning for the Service Provider Round Table with Broadvox, 8x8, InPhonex, MagicJack, Telefonica, and TW Telecom. It seemed like they would all like their ILEC associated costs to drop so they can drop their prices even lower. (I won't even rant about theMagic Jack deal).
8x8 made a statement about not wanting to collect communication taxes on its service. He sells POTS replacement. Cities and counties need the tax revenue from communications services. It's in the tens of millions of dollars. To want to shirk that responsibility just grates me. If the ILEcs didn't collect taxes, their bill would be lower too.
