I believe that the taxes on phone calls are to pay for the Spanish-American War and not to subsidize the smoke signal industry. If the taxes on phone calls were put into place and the revenues given to the smoke signal industry, then YES I emphatically say that the objective is to lead us back to smoke signals.
- joubert 17y agoWho is the smoke signal industry in the French online advertising tax case?

From the article: "This may explain why the French first lady's producer, Patrick Zelnik, was tasked with leading the commission, which came up with the proposals. One of these suggests taxing internet service providers to raise tens of millions of pounds for developing the online music business and other creative sectors. The funds would go towards financing schemes such as a government-subsidised digital subscription for 15 to 24-year-olds to download music cheaply to wean them off illegal piracy."
