AFAIK, it's the same tax that's charged on your phone bill (I forget the 
exact rate).  I assume that the Illinois Department of Revenue ruled that 
Netcom is a telecommunications service under the terms of the law 
imposing that tax.

I believe the Chicago area ISPs already pay the tax -- it's included
in the monthly fee subscribers pay. Apparently Netcom is passing on
that cost ON TOP OF its regular subscription fee. Love that Netcom ...
