Will foreign companies who sell internet services to US customers have to collect state sales taxes?

This would be a serious nightmare. We already limit our sales to Canada because if we go over a relatively low threshold, we'd have to collect and remit state sales tax for about 12 territories. Having to do the same for 11,000 US jurisdictions would instantly stop foreign entrants into the US market.
