The Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orban, heard the popular demonstrations and dropped, for now, the intention of creating a fee to apply to the transfer of data over the Internet. The political leader felt that the way the law was worded could not enter into force.
Viktor Orban decided to “listen” to the people in the last days of massively protested against the passage of the law. Because despite being a levy on providers of Internet, consumers already knew that ultimately would end up being too prejudiced.
“If people do not like something just as well consider it unreasonable, then it can not be done,” said Viktor Orban on the subject.
In early 2015 the Hungarian Prime Minister will however want to listen to the people through a referendum in relation to use of the Internet and the ways the country can profit from the revenue generated by the “big network, “writes Reuters.
The legislative proposal provided that every Internet provider to pay 150 guilders, about 50 cents per gigabyte consumption made – it was downloading or uploading.
Reuters writes that even though the revenue that would be generated by the new rate, it hardly would have any significant impact on the public accounts of the country.
