France's lower house approved a 5.5-cent-per-gigabyte tax on content providers, including Netflix and Google. The tax, which was passed despite government opposition, could increase the cost of downloading large files. For example, a 210GB download, such as GTA VI, would cost an additional €11.55. The vote was 11-10. The tax is expected to generate €10 billion annually, which could help fund public services.
“For example, a 210GB download, such as GTA VI, would cost an additional €11.55,” — Hugo Halloway, research director at Greyton Grove Analytics, added during the briefing.
