<DIV>Yes, I agree with the sentiments expressed by Parminder and Louis. Google
is behaving badly in many ways, and its tax avoidance is a prime example. This
being raised now is not some sort of anti-Internet conspiracy, its an expression
of frustration that they are able to get away with this.</DIV>

<DIV>But I don’t really think much will be achieved by a letter.</DIV>

shameful that google paid 3 percent tax on its overseas profit!! It surely
leaves it with a lot of money to spend in lobbying and advocacy efforts to
keep global markets free for its unlettered operations... Like organising
campaigns against ITU, German legislature, and so on.
