TCS Daily - Txt Msg Tax = :-( TCS Daily - Txt Msg Tax = :-(

TCS Daily: Txt Msg Tax = :-( faults a proposal by a French MEP to tax email and instant messages to shore up EU finances. I think that it gives the spam prevention possibilities of such a tax on email providers, but otherwise makes sense. The problem with taxing email though as a spam prevention measure is that they are left with the problem that whatever spam that does originate in the EU would just move outside their reach.
