Every article I read about this focuses on "online" businesses, but doesn't the current exemption stem from a legal precedent set by a case involving a mail order catalog company? Is the bill Internet specific, or is it just that mail order is such a small market no one is even talking about it?

The bill isn't internet specific; it applies to any kind of sale into a state the seller has no local nexus in. That would apply to mail or phone orders as well.
