California has abandoned a plan to tax text messages

What did Reagan use to say about liberals: if it moves, tax it?

California has abandoned a plan to tax text messages. The Federal Communications Commission ruled that text messaging is an “information service” and not a telecommunications service, leading the California Public Utilities Commission to cancel a January vote on the proposal. The CPUC had hoped to add monthly fees for text messages to help subsidize services for lower earners as landline revenues decline.
