Cities Want to Tax Streaming Video Services, but They’re Not Sure Why

According to an industry report, U.S. broadband users averaged 587 GB of data per month at the end of 2022, up from a mere 9 GB in 2010. A separate industry report finds that video accounts for 74 percent of internet traffic in the Americas, compared to 3 percent for web browsing. Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, Prime Video, and Hulu alone were responsible for almost 46 percent of data traffic in the Americas. (If the analysis were limited to the U.S., the figures might well be higher.)
