Talen317 writes "Even though more than a majority of House members (238) co-signed the bill to make the moratorium permanent, Democratic leaders refused to bring the matter to a vote.

"Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said a permanent ban would ensure that businesses would continue to invest in the Internet and keep access affordable for users. He charged that by limiting the House to consideration of a temporary extension, Democratic leaders "want to leave the door open to taxing the Internet in the future.""
