What part of what you just said outlines a clear path to wide-spread broadband access without government intervention?
And as to the benefit of the internet ... let's take the same wrong-headed approach to other utilities: Electricity is a benefit? Tell that to the people who's homes are destroyed by fires caused by downed power lines or any other kind of electrical accident, or the thousands of children killed every year when they stick something into an electrical socket. Water is a benefit? Tell that to the millions of people who's property is destroyed by flooding from broken water pipes every year. Roads are a benefit? Tell that to the millions of people who die in car accidents every year, many of which aren't even in a car. You can do that nonsensical OHH ITS SO BAD stuff with anything.
How can you fail to see that having, literally, THE SUM OF ALL HUMAN KNOWLEDGE available to anyone with an internet connection is a huge benefit to society!?

Never said it wasn't beneficial. I take the same approach with the "Internet" as I do Electricity, water, insert anything u want. If YOU can't afford it, DON'T tax ME to get it. Plain and simple.
Your wants/needs don't outweigh my Liberty. Sorry I don't wanna pay for your electricity, water, telephone, or Internet.
