French assembly approves 0.055 euro per gigabyte internet tax
Original: French national assembly votes 0.055€/GB internet tax
The French National Assembly has voted to introduce a new tax of 0.055 euros per gigabyte on internet data. Coverage by Les Numériques suggests the levy could raise prices for streaming services, gaming platforms like Steam, and cloud services, with costs likely passed on to consumers through more expensive subscriptions and downloads.
Why now: The vote would directly raise the cost of streaming, gaming and cloud services for French consumers, prompting debate online.
