   Britain's Labour party threatened billions of dollars in new taxes on large tech companies to fund the nationalization and expansion of the country's internet infrastructure if it wins the forthcoming general election.
   
   The party floated plans Thursday night to spend a total of £20 billion (around $25 billion) to buy up most of the UK's existing internet infrastructure, which it pledged to then massively expand.
   
   It named Amazon, Facebook, and Google as companies it wants to hit with new taxes to help pay for the scheme.

   Labour said it would reform the system to tax large tech companies on their global profits rather than those registered in the UK.
