Of course not and that is not at all what I am suggesting. However without government funding space technologies would not be where they are at present because they have historically lacked a clear return on investment. They same is true for certain areas of medical research, but that does not mean government should provide healthcare for individuals. The internet is the national highway system, except more vitally important to society. It is not just the individual who benefits from broad deployment of web resources.
