Dear CSMFO Subcribers,

A consultant recently advised our Main Street Program people that some
cities have been establishing their own ISP sites and then offering area
residents either free or highly discounted internet access.  The purpose
being that as subscribers purchase goods and materials over the internet,
the City's ISP is automatically collecting sales taxes on these internet
purchases for point of sale determination.

Is this true?  Are there any cities out there which have actually done this?
I will share responses with the membership.
