Thousands in Hungary protest Internet tax plan (2)

Thousands of demonstrators hold their phones in the air to protest against the planned internet tax in front of the Economy Ministry building in Budapest, Hungary on October 26, 2014. The Hungarian government submitted a draft tax legislation package for next year to parliament on October 21 which included the internet tax. If passed, Hungarians would be charged 150 forints (0.61 U.S. dollar) for each gigabyte of data they start to download, but the internet tax would be paid by internet service providers. The government would expect an annual revenue of 20-25 billion forints from the internet tax. (Xinhua/Attila Volgyi)
