英国电信公司称手机使用者应该支付宽带税

英国电信公司近日向政府提出向移动电话用户每年征收6英镑的税。上个月,通讯部长), Lord Carter在其数码英国报告中提出向固定电话使用者每个月征收50英镑的税,以保证在2017年之前英国90%以上的住户都可以享用超快的网速。但是该项提案有可能暂时无法通过,因为需要通过一项新的法案。最早也要到明年3月份才可以,那个时候大家的关注点都在大选上。
Mobile phone users should share the pain of broadband tax, says BT
BT has called for the government's proposed 6-a-year broadband tax to be extended to mobile phone users in a move that could reduce the size of the tax.
In his Digital Britain report last month, the communications minister(通讯部长), Lord Carter, proposed a 50p-a-month levy(征税) on every fixed-line phone to meet the bill for getting the next generation of super-fast broadband networks to 90% of UK households by 2017.
But it is not only fixed-line companies that would be able to bid for some of the estimated 1.5bn that would be raised by the tax. Mobile phone operators would also be able to use the money. As a result, BT's director of industry policy and regulation(英国电信产业政策和规章主任), Emma Gilthorpe, said yesterday that if mobile, wireless-based operators did go through that bid process then "the government should consider the opportunity to widen the base for the tax and possibly reduce the amount that each individual household pays".
