France's proposed internet tax of ₹5.83/GB of data may make internet usage costlier, as content providers are likely to pass costs on to users. Businessman Eric Larchevêque said the tax will translate to an ₹81 cost for watching a two-hour 4K Netflix movie. Downloading 1TB files from Google Drive may cost ₹5,800, and restoring a 2TB backup may cost ₹11,600.
