France to introduce download tax on content providers

Original: France is getting download tax for content providers (€0.055/GB)

France is set to charge content providers €0.055 per gigabyte of data delivered to French users, effectively a download tax on streaming and digital distribution companies. The proposal has drawn attention internationally, with commentators debating its impact on streaming services, ISPs and consumers, and whether other countries might follow France's lead in taxing data delivery.

Why now: A new per-gigabyte levy would raise costs for streaming platforms and could set a precedent copied by other countries.
