BASKING RIDGE, NJ — Verizon Wireless today applauded the introduction of the Cell Tax Fairness Act by Sens. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME). The legislation calls for a halt to taxes imposed by state or local authorities.
“Verizon Wireless has always said wireless customers should not be subject to unfair and discriminatory taxes, and this bill addresses that issue directly,” said Steve Zipperstein, vice president and general counsel at Verizon Wireless. “On behalf of our more than 67 million customers, we applaud this proposed legislation and commend Senators Wyden and Snowe for this important effort to make wireless services more affordable for American consumers.”
