Should the Internet be a Free Resource in the USA?

THE PROBLEM

As we all know internet service can be...EXPENSIVE. You have to spend around 15 bucks for the lowest end dial up in the US and that's the cheapest, for average service its anywhere from 30 to 60 dollars, and for the highest service it can be around 50 dollars up. In a down economy many people are giving up internet service, but should they?

The internet has become a major part of life, for almost everyone. Mainly because EVERYTHING requires the internet. Whether its school, work, or for human interaction you need an internet connection now a days.

Well with the high cost in a bad economy and a definite necessity, a solution comes to mind, why not make internet access free?

THE SOLUTION

Canada has done it, many EU countries have done it, and it has worked, I am of course talking about some form of free internet access. Now I know what the retards are saying, *country accent* "ITS NOT DUH GOMMERMANTS JOB TO PROVIDATIZE FREE INTERMAWEBS" *end country accent* to which I reply "Yes, of course it is the government should provide means of communication and full use of their websites to everyone, despite economic class or area of availability"

Though I am not saying offer free broadband 10 meg connections, I am simply saying offer 500k (slower then most ISP's offer) Wifi free available to everyone all over the United States.

Another question is: How will we pay for this? Simple the US has large amounts of Stimulus money going into made up government positions to create useless jobs, well why not spend that money on useful jobs. We can spend stimulus money on free internet.

I know what else people are thinking: Wouldn't this nationalize the internet? No not at all. A 500k connection is to be honest, really slow, faster then dial up but still slow. Most internet service providers offer their lowest package as 1 meg, twice that speed. Also many area's don't have any offerings except expensive dial up, which is slow groggy and out of date. Also you get what you do(n't) pay for. So if you want a fast connection pay for it.

On a side note I really fucking hate those weasels at the Dial Up companies, charging old ladies 50 dollars a month for a 52k connection....sickening.

That is all I have to say on this subject for now, though I may talk more on the subject later.
