        I would think if a state implemented that tax, a reasonable % of large companies would simple relocate to another state...so much for gaining revenue

          Uh-oh. Wouldn't that involve counting?

                It won't fly. Don't forget the Federal moratorium on internet related taxes...

                Since most company networks will take part in interstate commerce the Federal rules will supercede Florida law if the networks connected to the internet.

                  Yep. And you can't REALLY tax a LAN.

                  It's like saying "we're taxing all people who have sex". Well, since it's illegal to come into someone's home for the purpose of determining if they're boffing...

                  "What LAN? We don' thave a LAN here! We use sneakernet!"

                  I'm the least you could do
                  If only life were as easy as you
                  I'm the least you could do, oh yeah
                  If only life were as easy as you
                  I would still get screwed
