Internet World Weekly Reports On the Fight to Tax E-Commerce

Posted on March 13, 1998

The March 9th issue of Mecklermedia's new Internet World weekly print publication, "The Voice of E-Business and Internet Technology," reports on the fight between the federal government and the states over a bill that would protect Internet companies from new taxes.

"The bill has the support of the Clinton Administration and most of the Internet industry," said Internet World editor-in-chief Robert Hertzberg. "In the event that it does not pass, E-commerce companies and Internet Service Providers in particular would be vulnerable to potentially painful new taxes."

The March 9th issue of Internet World also offers a look at how four of the earliest Web sites are faring in midlife, and an analysis of a new "browser war," one shaping up in the market for handheld devices. In its 'Careers' section, the newspaper reveals why Los Angeles, the site of this week's Internet World trade show, has become a center for online content creation, and in its IW Labs section, offers Webmasters ideas on how to figure out which Web server to buy. Internet World was formerly known as Web Week.
