This is typical of Maryland politicians: if you can't balance the budget, just add more taxes. It's a good thing I moved away from that area. |

| reply to Derch Sound more like this is a replacement for lost revenues due to decline in the number of landlines.
This may well fuel growth of prepaid cellular. If there's no "phone bill", its hard for a city to tax it. Users can easily buy the recharge vouchers over the internet or outside the city. |

| ATTWS/Cingular GoPhone users would tend to disagree with you. My GoPhone service, which is prepaid, is $39.99 plus $7.18 in taxes and "fees." -- Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are easy to annoy and have the root password. |
