French Assembly Votes New 0.055 Euro Per GB Internet Tax
Original: French national assembly votes 0.055€/GB internet tax
France's National Assembly has approved a tax of 0.055 euros per gigabyte of internet data, a move that could raise costs for streaming services such as Netflix, gaming platforms like Steam, and cloud storage providers, with price increases likely passed on to consumers. Critics argue it effectively taxes data usage and could make French subscriptions and downloads more expensive than elsewhere in Europe.
Why now: The vote directly affects the price consumers pay for streaming, gaming downloads and cloud services, sparking concern about higher subscription costs.
