UPDATED: Hungarian government to impose new "internet tax" in 2015
Well, the protests were successfull and there will be no internet tax
Lets hope, that other countries will learn from this, and won't even try for such stupid tax.

http://zahranicni.ihned.cz/zahranicni/-evropa/c1-63036990-orban-se-zalekl-odporu-madarsko-ustoupilo-od-dane-z-internetu - it's in Czech language, but basically, the Orban obviously feeled the protests and he told in radio, that goverment won't impose internet tax. After first protest they came with max. monthly limit for the tax, and after second one it looks like theyre backing up from this idea completly.
But he also told, that there will be public consultation about internet regulation in January.
