Yikes, talk about socialists bankrupting a country:
"French Lawmakers Back Per-Gigabyte Internet Traffic Tax"
"The latest amendment, introduced by socialist lawmaker Laurent Lhardit, could see content providers pay €0.055 (roughly $0.06) to the government for every gigabyte of content distributed to French users."
If I did the math right that's going to add about US $18 per month to subscribers bills.
I'll admit I don't know what they currently pay, but there are internet connections that cost just a bit more than that meaning in some instances it might be doubling the cost of an essential service for French households.
