France may extend TV licence fee to computer screens

Culture minister says government is considering making those who own a computer screen but no television pay up
The French government is considering extending the television licence fee to include computer screen owners to boost revenues for public-sector broadcasting operations, the culture minister said on Saturday. President François Hollande's Socialist government aims to raise an extra €7.5bn (£6bn) this year through tax rises included in an amended budget bill to be unveiled next week.

Cars, TV, what are they going to tax next - toilets!?
