You people keep telling me because it was government funded everyone should have access, I philosophically disagree. The roads highways bridges in this country are funded by government, some people walk, bike, and or drive these roads, highways, bridges that are government funded so since the walker/bicycler who cannot afford to purchase a car to go as fast as those who can purchase a car be given a car by government because it's "beneficial."
This constant DRONE of how the Internet "benefits society" grows old. Tell that to the millions of people that had there lives destroyed by identity theft, or the little girl who committed suicide because every time she opened her email some asshole kid at school is calling her fat and ugly. A blanket statement of benefits society thus it should be so is tunnel vision, and I'm not saying the Internet doesn't have its positives cause it does. My point is I know it can be done w/o government involvement. Yes might it take longer and require some of the citizenry to get off their asses sure, but in the end you will not only have a better product, but a more accountable company providing you service. Your need to steal the labor (tax) of others to achieve your access to the Internet is fundamentally destructive in and of itself.
