The isssue is much larger here, and with a much longer impact. Government wether local or national should not be in charge of granting us the internet.
When the ISP’s disappear, it will be a monopoly by default, run by the most inefficeient means known to man. Plus, what will we have to say if they decide to just turn it off. Whether it is because of an election campaign or because someone might have pissed off the UN again. Take a good look at the taxes and fees on your landline telephone bill, and the free WiFi concept will just scare the hell out of you. It is the first step in Gov. control of the internet, and it will be followed by control over content. whether for political purposes or for the good of the children. Perhaps one disguised as the other !. Next, special fees to cover administration casts..and of course these are always written so they can be raised at will.
