Compulsory Mass Registration Of Cell Phones Next
http://www.rense.com/general58/tax.htm
Germany has become the first country in the world to tax private personal computers that are deemed to be "Internet-capable".
The new tax was originally planned to come into effect on January 1, 2007. That date still holds for businesses and large corporations, but private households will be forced to register their PCs before the deadline of March 31, 2005. Owners must then pay 17.03 euros a month for their PC unless they are already complying with the full GEZ tax for a registered television and radio.
Tax-weary citizens who fail to pay the GEZ imposition or register a television or radio are liable to pay crippling fines amounting to thousands of euros and even face lengthy prison sentences. By law, individuals and businesses resident in Germany must register every television, video-recorder, DVD-player, radio, car radio and radio alarm-clock that they own, regardless as to their state of repair.
I assume another way to track where people go on the Internet and to make sure they dont go on any "approved" sites?
