Business Wire, Oct 31, 2007

WASHINGTON -- The following statement may be attributed to Roger Cochetti, Group Director of U.S. Public Policy for the Computing technology Industry Association (CompTIA):

"The President's signing of the Internet Tax Freedom Act today represents a historic victory for small businesses, consumers, and all American taxpayers. Congress' decision to extend the moratorium on Internet access taxes and multiple or discriminatory taxes on internet sales for an unprecedented seven years signals this Congress' firm belief that the Internet is priceless engine for economic, social and civic advancement in the United States that must not be burdened with discriminatory and abusive tax schemes. We applaud the leadership of the Senate and House for their just in time delivery of the best Halloween treat small businesses across the country could hope for."
