NCTA Repeats Call for Permanent Extension of Internet Tax Freedom Act

NCTA is repeating its request for Congress to permanently extend the Internet Tax Freedom Act (ITFA). "Congress has a chance to stop the cycle of temporary reprieves and act to make ITFA permanent," NCTA said in a blog post Thursday. "We hope they do so." The group cited a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., signed by such organizations as the Multicultural Media, Telecom and Internet Council, Competitive Enterprise Institute, Digital Liberty, Media Freedom and TechFreedom calling a permanent ITFA extension "critical to all Americans and the future of our overall economy." NCTA, CTIA and USTelecom wrote a similar letter to senators in December (see 1512140054).
