President Bush signs a bill on Wednesday in the Oval Office that allows Internet users to access the Web tax-free for at least another seven years. With him are Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., left, Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, Sen. John Sununu, R-N.H., Rep. Chris Cannon, R-Utah, Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del. and Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn. Cannon introduced the measure with U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich. Congress in 1998 put a federal moratorium on local and state governments from collecting taxes on Web access. The moratorium expired in 2003 but was extended in 2004. The current one was set to expire Wednesday, but the new law extends it to 2014.
