They joke about it, but IIRC the government did suggest something along those lines a few years back, in theory to subsidise broadband roll out.
And several countries do actually have a levy on all BB connections...0 -

Trouble is.....in attempting to be funny, you cause anxiety in some, and spark ideas in the money grabbers at HM Treasury.....
On balance - unnecessary, if you want people to believe and use your web site. Shame on you0 -

Quote The BBC Trust has signed an agreement with the government's Department of Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport (DCMS) to contribute to the cost of providing broadband, it was announced today.
The BBC will pay £150m of licence fee income a year for two years to the DCMS. This will pay for funding broadband roll-out to rural areas across the UK.
The DCMS aims to provide superfast broadband to at least 90% of premises in the UK and to provide universal access to standard broadband with a speed of at least 2Mbps. end quote
Quote Starting in April 2015, the BBC will pay the Department of Culture, media and sport £12.5m a month for two years. end quote
