shortage. longer than i think, a competitive business time robot in berlin. welcome to the program and you can to a new proposed internet tax is facing a backlash from uses. the government is introducing a 12 percent excise duty on data. however, a previous failed social media attacks and already high internet costs in many ugandans firmly against their law. to this shop and again, this capital compiler, about half of this talk is bulletin. so don't line but lately ordered have reduced the own a blend between the over the top tax on social media or t t, which has reportedly reduced internet usage. in uganda, he is even more concerned now that the government wants to tax the internet more. so wanted to briefly also change the numbers. now with this direct increment of,

of tax, it is even going to be what we're going to have list people using the internet. you can to has failed to meet revenue targets for the social media talks, which was introduced in 2018. many gannons use virtual private networks. v p ends to use social media without paying the daily $200.00 shilling stocks. so the government, once the unpopular tax replaced with a 12 percent excise duty on the voice 15 will that the revenue is actually putting just latex x and x rays on mobile data. because one that is correct back to the new tax proposal. he's already facing a backlash. some use as think that the government only cares about raising revenues just that we intended. patricia, uganda is actually the lowest. of course. all of that you start confronted can, are you going to tell them that you've been ronda?

we have the lowest intended penetration, then you also look at the cost of a country. i think you've gone to right now spend that about $2.60 per g, b of data, which is the highest cost or the east african states that data cost only is going to eat into about 16 percent of the average income of my typical you've got it. so that's definitely going to stream as significant portion of the government phase that the 12 percent touch is well told you that it was the word effects because of that, with that effect, is it a minimal? this is one way of going to you think, resources. so what's the national development? so the resource is in for what i was going to to do is there shall, is what to do. the resources have been corrected. the show that the, this is a put to proper use, sees the coffee, 1900 lockdown last year. many businesses have gone online, which has opened new opportunities for the economy. despite the government justifications,

there is fear that the new taxes may rebut such gains for online business owners. us discuss this further with michael in the tech who is an internet specialist based at clark international university. and you can, the thanks for joining us on the to be business. can you just explain to us how this 12 percent tacked on data is actually gonna work in practice? well, in practice is that for every purchase you buy for your data bundle. and so it's very specific on data bundles, mostly i think thing the guys we use mobile data. so it will be a charge on top of what has really been charged. so it will be in your, in, in your budget for you. right? so consumers are all okay, so yes, i'm so sorry. say that they didn't put people off using the internet as much, which doesn't seem like a particularly future proof approach. i've got to do that. i mean,

you're going to take teresa dwayne consume now or do i wait? when i do the extremely i gym for me to go online. and so again, you know, you're from a company perspective even when they've been collecting, ingrained to significantly drops. so it doesn't, in any way, become a progressive tax. that can be, i mean, if you look at the 100, if you, if you stop looking at it as a consumable, but rather look at it as a market. then you probably need to rethink how you encourage more people to go into the digital economy. yeah, so for me it's, it's sort of a progressive tax. the danger is that you make these changes for short term gains, but in the long run this could actually be quite harmful the games i'm not very sure because i mean coroner called the called the heaters and read people went into

online but doesn't spend in the centers went into what you call online landing university, that being pushed into great online learning, whether they're telling us that for health and education, this tax will not be levied. the question is how is that going to be implemented? and so that is to the area. so it's, it's just not the right time for this thing to be brought in. i'll be honest with you, but you can, that does need the revenues to help tackle it's. it's death and they will bring in revenues even if it does reduce the amount of incident usage rented. so let's look at it this way. supposing a opted to make it cheaper and have more, you got to go online and grow their digital to me. i'll probably have more people having income for them to be able to dis, bonds, and bring my chest more products or services than they would normally would. so

probably make more money from like it's been around if i could pretty better. so that's how you look at to possibly yes, well, my new touch, thank you very much for joining, hasn't the w business and bring in some insight into the player. thank you very much. spelled him now where court proceedings have begun in the european union's lawsuit against astro, astrazeneca vaccine deliveries you choose. as the british swedish farmer giant of repeatedly and drastically falling short of the number of doses. it promised the contract for $300000000.00 current of faxing doses this year, but any $30000000.00 were delivered in the 1st quarter and expected to deliver just $70000000.00 in the 2nd quarter companies to us. it has fully complied with agreements though and delivered as much vaccines as it could. correspondents in brussels, barbara, they still have been following the story. the european union says that as far as

emily go, dean visitors start up to find out how they are adjusting. ski lift drop sticks favorable to x produces smart flu shots, full restaurants, but to perform even basic tasks like this, robots need to be very smart. the brains of the operation are hidden inside here. tiny semiconductor chips. a lot of this robots control system have a full set of semi conductive back, but the global chip shortage is causing problems. for developers. we've had to scour the internet to find the last few components that were for sale or completely change our designs to, to use parts which we are able to find. we started buying used components which was something that we hadn't ever done before. semiconductors are crucial to new technologies. the chips are assembled on 2 small green printed circuit boards,

short p c fees. the circuit boards are usually manufactured in asia, but the global shortage means companies must find other solutions. so this is a rob moore that comes in from overseas design on it. you see there's some spaces that are missing and those would be what we need to purchase ourselves and assemble on this means more hunting, around online to find the missing pieces. you know, sometimes the things that we have to lower our expectations from what a product can do, simply because of the reality of supply chain. this robot is being prepared for shipment. but the semiconductor shortage means that the next ones might come out later. and there might be less smart gordion reporting. that's all for me in the business team here in berlin. if you want even more from
