<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Tax cut is fiscal dumping. That's the
connection.<br>
Some Internet companies can escape taxes because their activities
aren't linked to territories. Others are linked to countries and
pay full taxes.<br>
<br>
For example, in the new TLDs candidates. Some hundred of projects
are declared in British Virgin Islands, Bermuda, Cayman, Gibraltar
etc.<br>
They are US companies and nevertheless, thay are counted as
European projects!<br>
<br>
The real numbers of new TLDs projects are: <br>
<br>
US: 1230<br>
EU: 356 and not 675 as Icann displays it.<br>
Asia-Pacific: 303<br>
South America: 24<br>
Africa: 17<br>
<br>
Destroying the basic equilibria is dangerous for any people. Even
dangerous for US people. We can see the actual results on the
middle classes and environment...<br>

It was a similar case with "Freedom of the seas", before

regulation...<br>
