[governance] FW: TP: city government exercising policy on Google Applications / consumer rights / Consumer Protection Act / trial period

[Milton L Mueller]

Local governments have a lot to do with local things. Or have you forgotten about things like roads, schools, crime and law enforcement, etc.? Local govts that try to parasitize virtual businesses tend not to focus on what they need to be doing.

Good god, let's hope not.

shd we than dissolve local governments, and it is enough that the US collects most of the taxes from the world over because in any case it seems to be doing much of the governance....

Do municipal statutes have jurisdiction over non-local global

corporations with only a virtual presence/assets locally i.e. can a

municipal tax apply to virtually supplied electronic apps for example?
