In Germany just because you have a TV-enabled deviced, you pay a fee to GEZ to finance public broadcasters I suppose.
I'm not sure if they will consider "free internet" as another way to access TV and charge you.

So this is a universal tax anyway, whether or not you have a TV-enabled device.
Some years ago they would send people to sniff around your home to find a media device, like taking photos of your car radio in front of your home to prove you can access public media. But if you let them in your home, they'd write a report of you having a TV etc.
But as I said this isn't happening any more, they just assume every household has a device capable of accessing public media so everyone must pay.
There was a big movement against this but ultimately the Constitutional Court decided all this is A-OK.
These days you have to pay no matter what, even if you have no device that can receive broadcasts.
