Re: Everyone should pay to get to the Internet backbone
To counter that slightly, my bill is increasing by £3 per month for the telco to install more equipment to cope with the streaming load.
I don't stream in general, although i have streamed 1 missed program, and one series of 10 episodes due to the BBC not making it available on terrestrial TV. Else, everything is freeview.
As such, i am subsidising those people who do stream. So a tax on those providing the services to offset the cost would (hopefully) be beneficial to me. Though i doubt there will be a £3 drop in costs for my broadband.
