Feds Propose Tax on Wifi Use!

President Bush has proposed taxing the use of wifi (wireless), and is proposing a "user fee" for "un-auctioned" radio spectrum use.

The proposal is in the president's 2007 proposed budget, and is believed to be aimed at the unlicensed radio spectrum used for, among other things, wifi.

- I seriously doubt this story is true, but who cares. The comments are what matters.
