Unless I'm more confused than usual, this case was decided a year ago, and most internet sales are already being taxed according to where the item is being delivered (which can be a nightmare, considering that there are over 12,000 taxing districts).
I guess the question is - how many states tax services, which services do they tax, and can it be considered a "sales tax"? South Dakota v Wayfair only dealt with the sale of a physical product across state lines; a service is not a physical product. I can see the argument that "if we can collect some of our taxes across state borders, we can collect all of them", but I'm not sure that would fly with SCOTUS.
Interesting question, though...
