Ok, this is a contrarian opinion, but I think this is a great idea. This is an experiment and there isn't any data around the impact of a broad tax on internet on the economy. If Hungary implements this tax, then every other country can use that data to inform their own decisions about taxing the internet. In reality, as everyone has already pointed out, this experiment will fail horribly - which is great, because eventually SOME country or state is going to want to do this and I'm glad the experiment is being run in Hungary and not the United States or the EU.
