In the last month, wireless provider AT&T has been sued in several states over allegedly illegally collecting taxes for its phone data access plans. Cases are being files in Georgia, Indiana, and Alabama, among others, with each arguing that under the federal Internet Tax Freedom Act, AT&T is not allowed to collect taxes on data plans until 2014. The plaintiffs argue that AT&T's data plans clearly fall under the Internet access category, which the law clearly bans from taxation.
