Isn't sales tax on Internet services against federal law?

Generally it is, and has been for many years. Recently Congress made the law prohibiting a sales tax on Internet service permanent. A few states had a sales tax (including Wisconsin) on Internet services that were exempt from the ban because these taxes were already in place when the ban took effect. These exemptions will be phased out soon (unless Congress decides to renew them and let those states continue to charge).
