Bush Administration Proposes Taxing Unlicensed Spectrum (Updated)

This wouldn't be a tax on carriers, it would be a tax on the PUBLIC bands, they have just gone and called them 'unlicensed' to make it sound like they were missing licensing. What it would mean is taxation of cordless phones, home networking equipment, and other items YOU use for free now, in order to push you toward the already 'licensed' carriers' services, so ol' George can snoop on your conversations more easily.

If your communications go through unlicensed routers, he can't snoop, right?
