Internet access as a 'right'
- Thread starter tlwwake

Don't have broadband or don't have access to broadband? Given the capability of Satellite broadband today, I have a hard time believing its accessibility but rather fiscal decisions of the individual for not having broadband access.
Now that you can't assaulted by the cops for loitering in Starbucks, problem solved. Next!
The real question is: who decided the best picture to illustrate this issue is of a high voltage electric transmission line?
That article is amazing in its willful blindness and not understanding telecom investment. The article is about what it claims is a need to build ultra high speed Internet for 24M rural Americans. But then also mentioned the need to vote for representatives who were pro-net neutrality. Apparently not realizing the onerous governmental regulation slow telecom investments.
A bit off topic. How am I as the consumer going to benefit from repealing net neutrality? Will my prices go down? Will my service be better?
I like the implication, and I assume theres some Tongue-in-cheek here as you aren't part of the normal "dem" crew. Assumption aside, I would ask, if there are 24 million people who have no fiscal access to high speed internet, is that really their largest problem? Do we tell those families: "I know you can't afford a computer, and can barely (if that) afford food, but we spent billions on additional infrastructure to ensure you can get your facebook feed at 25Mb/s". Somehow or another, this really strikes me as a first world problem, and I know for a fact we have too many 2nd and 3rd world problems here in America for me to frankly care to solve this one.
Yes, it was very much t-i-c. This smells to me like another page of victimology, but as long as it fits the narrative.....
