Original: France’s Socialists push through per-gigabyte internet tax by one vote

France's Socialist lawmakers have pushed through a new tax on internet usage charged per gigabyte of data, with the measure adopted by a margin of just one vote. The narrow passage of the data levy has drawn attention given its potential impact on consumers and internet service providers, though details on rates, implementation dates and exemptions have not yet been confirmed.
