Introduced in the House on March 13, 2012, to replace current taxes imposed on pre-paid cell phone service to cover the cost of government 9-1-1 service, with a new 1.92 percent levy imposed at the point of sale (like sales tax). The current 9-1-1 service tax regime would still apply to other kinds of cell phone accounts

This tax seems like it would mostly effect the poor and military service members... who are the ones most likely to purchase pre-paid cell service.   I say no new taxes.
