That doesn't hold water either. 150 HUF/GB is nowhere near unaffordable.

Actually without a datacap it becomes quite expensive.

Purchase a modern AAA game on steam, they're around 30G. Instant 15e additional tax when downloading it. And that tax gets paid every time you redownload anything.

Also netflix becomes a lot more expensive. 50 cents per hour for standard definition or 1.5 euros per hour in HD.

there is a cap on the tax though, you'd basically pay extra on the first couple of movies (well, there isn't any netflix in hungary, so you'd be paying for torrents)

Taxes paid by the non-elite only go up over time.

For personal use it's really affordable, but what about companies like saas, online magazine, newspaper etc?
