France to introduce download tax on content providers
Original: France is getting download tax for content providers (€0.055/GB)
France is set to levy a charge of €0.055 per gigabyte on content providers for data delivered to French users, effectively a download tax on streaming and digital distribution companies. The proposal is drawing debate over who will ultimately foot the bill, with critics warning costs could be passed on to consumers and raise questions for streaming services, gaming platforms and other high-bandwidth providers operating in France.
Why now: A new per-gigabyte levy directly affects streaming platforms, ISPs and potentially consumer prices in France.
