For any that weren't aware: The state of Tennessee Department of Revenue ruled that internet access is no longer a taxable telecommunication service.
What this means: If you file a request with you ISP by 11:59pm on July 17, they will issue you a refund on all of the sales tax you have been charged for your internet access since December of 2000. This is not an automatic refund - your ISP does not have to give it to you, or even tell you about it unless you ask.
