No one can function in today’s world without an internet connection. Computers and cell phones are not a luxury but a lifeline to the outside world, not just for business. It is how we get our news. It alerts us to emergencies. It is how we do our banking, pay our bills, and a hundred other personal obligations via websites and apps. Even with the growing competition between providers, all are beholden to the telecom giants, Verizon, ATT, Comcast who dictate the prices. Ridiculously high prices! Let them make their money off of data, service plans, smartphones and other hardware. Make internet access free, as it was intended to be.
