People pay for POTS telephone service and its installation. Inherited installation!= free service or set-up fees.
To gripe about it, while I dont mind funding educational services, I do not want to fund access forthe endless ammount of botnets that are going to spring up, pr0n, FML, TFLN, and all the other crap that will assuradely suck up all available bandwidth. Knowing my users, as well as myself, I could never advocate for such a service as free open Internet. -- ME2 On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 12:18 PM, Murray Freeman <mfree...@alanet.org>wrote: > Well, it seems to me that the Internet being a great tool which is > available to be used as needed, WITHOUT government interference, it should > be made available to everyone.
