  • Satellite Tv Tax Axed

    Some good news for a change ... (from TELE-satellite newsletter http://www.TELE-satellite.com/ )

    SATELLITE TV TAX AXED
    A proposed tax on satellite TV services in California, legislation that
    opponents said was being pushed by the cable industry, was axed by state
    lawmakers in Sacramento. The death of the 5 per cent California dish tax
    was good news for the Satellite Broadcasting and Communications Association
    and its president, Andy Wright. “This is a huge win for California
    consumers,” he said. “Such a measure would have placed an unfair,
    anti-competitive burden on consumers who have opted for satellite
    television, the only true competitor to cable,” Wright said. “As an
    industry, it is imperative that we remain vigilant in our efforts to
    protect our customers by remaining on guard against anti-competitive
    legislative proposals at the federal, state and local levels.”
