Here are some quotes from this article which emphasize the presence of e-commerce:

"According to the latest U.S. Census Bureau figures, e-commerce sales have experienced a steady uptick since the turn of the century, estimated at $136.4 billion in 2007--an increase of 19.0 percent over 2006."

Also, e-commerce sales are estimated to surpass $200 billion this year and hit $300 billion by 2011.

As E-Commerce increase I think that the government will begin to mandate taxes on all internet transactions done in the US for an added source of tax income.
