Does Netflix even have a physical presence in Chicago? How would the city be able to compel Netflix to pay otherwise? I'm thinking about how I paid no sales tax for Amazon purchases until Amazon opened a warehouse in my state.
- spacehome 11y agoIt's a fantastic way to discourage Internet-based companies from installing a presence in Chicago.
- fatman 11y agoShhhhh... Don't broadcast your flouting of your state's Use Tax like that!
- jevinskie 11y agoI said I paid no sales tax. That is accurate and legal. I mentioned nothing about use tax! =)
- joezydeco 11y agoNetflix has (had?) a DVD processing/mailing center in Carol Stream, a suburb of Chicago. Amazon is eyeing warehouse/shipping space in Joliet.
- walsh-cloonagh 11y agoThey could have or want to have servers in Chicago. They need to cache content close to users, so the probably have hardware like OpenConnect [1] all over creation.
