What do you think free internet would be like for everyone?

Northwest · M
It would be wonderful and we should make it a national priority.

We spend money on roads, bridges and other services deemed essential. The Internet is essential, but today access to it, and service levels, are not dependent on how much money individuals are willing to spend.

It would be like restricting access to freeways, and limiting your driving speed, based on how much you're willing pay.

And no, it does not have to mean giving up your privacy, or agreeing to advertising.

It would also not be something that's expensive to provide. We already have a national electric high voltage power grid, that private enterprise is using to run a national fiber backbone. States can work with the Feds to run their own.

Money was added to the latest budget proposals, but only a portion made it, not enough to tackle a national-level project.

Since there aint no such thing as a free lunch, I am guessing you mean free access to a system paid for without subscription. Either your taxes will pay. Or it will generate revenue with something like advertising😷
