Your post shows that you have no idea what the Internet is. Please take some computer classes. TV is content distribution. The Internet is a network of computers, by definition free. I shall avoid using terms that you don't understand, and to keep things simple, shall we just consider the following: What if a company wants to download a database for its clients? What if I'm downloading free operating systems or creative commons licensed works? What if I run a home business? You can't tax on traffic. It would be similar to having to pay a tax to drive your car around your own farm, or a walking tax to go from your kitchen to your bedroom.
