Online and Internet has been a part of our lives and we can't live without it, people take this opportunity to use the Internet as a money making business for themselves and others too, and what if the government over at your country saw this as a opportunity to get an income and tax over this what would happen to the future of online business??

the online buisiness is growing now and the government sees that it will also get some money from it as tax(in the time of this economic recession)

Well for the past year I have been hearing small little quips about going back to charging for internet time. Remember back when you paid $10 a month for 50 free hours a month and was charged per hour after that? I have heard, and they are blaming it on downloads and watching tv on line and things like that... but they are talking about charging again - Don't know the specifics but there has been small talk about it from time to time... so yes, they can take it back and most likely will do so. Ever heard of a time when those big wigs with tons of money, find a way to make us little guys pay more so they make more money at our expense!
And business that rely on internet srevice - which is most all - will have to pay for it and that means the trickle down effect will take place - you know, make their customers pay for the added expense of them running their business. Hide and watch.. I believe it will happen simply because it is so black and white to happen.
