  1. Internet Dynamics on EU Considers Taxing SMS Messages, Email · · Score: 0

    Seven Reasons This is a Really Really Bad Idea:

            1. Implementation is tricky. Read any book on the TCP/IP protocal suite to see why.
            2. The amount taxed will increase. We know this from the history of taxing itself. There is also the fact that money will be needed to determine how much a person is to be taxed.
            3. This will require all currnet EU located email addresses to be "reregistered" so they can bill the email senders.
            4. This will hamper communications especially in the area of internet groups. People will no longer be able to join large email based comminuties without a member getting stuck with the bill.
            5. If the email servers do not bill their customers directly they will bill their advertisers more and that will increase internet prices hindering EU internet consumers.
            6. If the email servers do not bill their customers directly they will bill their advertisers more and that will increase internet prices. I believe that increase in advertising price will force companys to abandon the EU mail server market and either look for other ways to increase product awareness or spend money in the US or emerging CHINA.
            7. Enforcement. Will they spend money to monitor traffic and ensure a household pays its $.03 tax on a home email server.
