Easy,

I found some interesting articles.

>>>Amendments for Net tax act?

"The provision would repeal that ratification of the [domain name tax] and we will not get a big increase in funding for NGI and networking research," the source added. "This lawsuit has shown that the [domain name tax] is not a secure source of funding for the Next Generation Internet."

news.com

"WASHINGTON--The nation's mayors and county executives asked a U.S. court today to block a Capitol Hill-appointed panel that is studying Internet taxation from meeting, alleging it is illegally stacked with industry representatives."

These articles lead me to wonder how the NGI will be funded. That's my next area of research.
