TBH, I am not sure I like the idea of this tax.

I can understand the need to pay taxes for things that are needed (School, local maintenance, housing, emergency services etc), but I do not class Broadband internet access as a need.

Sure, it is handy (especially as the government is busy placing everything it can online so that it can reduce it's own staffing levels), but is it necessary? No. Not IMO.
