Well POTs were losing accounts right and left. Their service had to add all the federal and state taxes to the bill. Not I think I'm gonna swith to Magic Jack VOIP. Vonage et all just got a kick in the bill.

"I doubt if the legislators even knew what VOIP was until some lobbyist brought it up."

I'm sure they still don't. This IS Florida. They probably are content thinking that some techie nerd has figured out how to get voice to go through the "pipes" of the internet and other techie nerds are using it, but isn't it really echo-y? All they really have to know is that the POTS give them cash to tax it. A win-win!
