Vonage to charge sales tax

Just released.

According to a statement from Vonage:

NOTICE:
On or about May 1, 2006, we will begin charging sales tax to customers in several states across the US. Some state and local governments are requiring that we assess sales taxes on your internet phone service. These charges may be a flat fee or a percentage of your charges and may change from time to time without notice.


This makes no sense.
"Some" states? Which ones?

"May be a flat fee or a percentage"? Well what is it?
