This is something I strongly believe in. and here's why...

The Internet is not a product, it's a medium, we communicate through it. It's a medium for communication.

Like the air is a medium for communication through word of mouth, do you buy air? Do you need to pay for it? No, then why would you need to pay for Internet?

I don't care they make it, the point here isn't to save money, it's to point out that the Internet is not a program, it's not a product.

The Internet is profitable for the government here, so I don't imagine it happening, well atleast in my country anyway.

The internet is something that has to be provided for you by someone else. Air is not.
There are no air provider companies, but there are internet provider companies.

Right. A newspaper is something that has to be provided for you by someone else and so is the internet. They can't be free.

ISPs have to pay for server upkeep, logging (as required by federal law), paying employees, paying for power to keep the servers running, etc. Going through all this trouble is not worth it if there isn't something in it for you, so you charge not only for paying the bills, but also a little extra for yourself.

The reason it is a product while air, speaking, etc. aren't is because there is an unlimited supply of those things and nobody has to create these services for you. Providing an internet connection doesn't fall into these categories.

Nothing is free. This would just be more taxes.

Internet is man-made. Air isn't. Your arguement is invalid.

Man-made or not man-made, that doesn't make it free or not.

Also I'm not asking for it all, just a basic connection available for everyone. Everyone will still need to pay for protection, or to pay for a better internet, a faster.

Here if we compare it to air again, ait itself is free right? But you want protection against germs, you buy a mask. Or let's say you want less humidity, you buy a dehumidifier.

A Basic connection, a basic slow connection that gives people access to only things like their emails and online encyclopedias. They will need to buy their access to other things, like gaming sites, and they will also need to upgrade their internet speed or volume to gain access to things like ROBLOX.

Over here 1 gigabyte of download or upload can go up to 5 bucks. And it frequently stops working for one reason or the other.

I don't think you have an understanding of how exactly the internet works...

Wifi hotspots.
No, you pay for them. In Cyprus we have PrimeTel, to use the wifi hotspots you must have a PrimeTel account and you pay 50 cents every 5 minutes (not sure) if you are using their hotspots.

Bars and Cafes have free wifi networks but not in a big range.
