On the surface this seems incredibly stupid.* Not taxing money directly but instead "usage."* Taxing behavior you're trying to encourage.* Pushing businesses away from software that allows for environmentally sound practices like paperless operations and remote work.* "Cloud computing" is effectively a proxy for business activity and it's a really bad one.
