The French to pay taxes for their internet and mobile usage?

Well; it looks like the French President has taken my words a little too seriously. He has come up with a proposal wherein the French may have to pay taxes for their mobile usage and the internet usage. The reason to come up with this proposal – the revenue generated from this taxation will help run the two public television channels in France WITHOUT ADVERTISEMENTS.

This is really interesting. While half of the world is going gaga over mobile advertising and encouraging users to access mobile internet and other mobile applications more often, France has come up with this sort of a proposal. While he has assured everyone that the taxes levied would be “infinitesimal”, I’ll have to wait and watch.

What do you guys say? If they come up with such proposal in the U.S., like I mentioned in my last post, would you accept it? No ads, but more taxes. What; you’re asking me? Never; not in a million lives.
