But it is only through our causal acceptance such conspicuously false narratives that we perpetuate our servitude. Money is nothing. Literally a NO THING. The truth of the matter is that the only thing preventing your free internet, or practically any other venture, is a lack of will, man power and creativity. Nothing more. Nothing less. Lay waste to fictitious rhetoric that serves only to poison the mind and weaken the spirit. (Sorry, for the rant. I just had to call it out. I couldn't help myself). You are correct. But see, money itself is the thing preventing free internet and other advances. Even if its a con, fake, spawned by evil men, it acts as a barrier to progress. Because if no profit is made, nothing is done. Do we have the manpower, techincal capabilites, technology and resources to give free internet to every citizen of western countries? Hell yes we do, and we could do many more things. But its not 'profitable', so it isnt done. You are spot on....hell yes we do and hell yes we can. One of the greatest hurdles preventing us from evolving by leaps and bounds is the refusal to demolish such irrational and nonsensical paradigms and the only way to deconstruct stagnated philosophy is call it out on the mat and rationally destroy its character each and every time it rears its false narrative. Everything we manifest is the result of three simple and basic elements... Thought Belief Action And it's in that order. Our thoughts (words) build our belief system and we act according to what we believe. It's really that simple and unfortunately a belief can be, not only incorrect, but downright harmful to us if it is build on falsehoods that bind us to actions that are counter to rationality and sound judgement. In other words, until we stand against false doctrines (thoughts and words), it's all just pissing in the wind.

Because it costs money to provide internet so they're not just gonna give it out for free. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35176657 Secondly one of the only ways to provide internet in all areas of the world would be via satellites which has bad latency. Often in the case of a restaurant it costs more to limit wifi access when one considers rhe amount of time wait staff must spend being distracted by customers asking for the password.

My only point is that saying something isn't done or can't be done because it costs money is simply a false statement. Everyone repeats it. Most believe it but it simply is not true. The statement only holds up in an agreed upon perception but has no basis in actual reality at all. I think the point has been lost which is par for the course. Carry on.

How much could it cost to broadcast from satellites a free internet to the world? One spy satellite worth? One ICBM? One billion dollar carrier? The reason is, because people are greedy. We live in a very rural area. We could get dial up, after buying the landline phone that costs $75 a month because they keep raising their prices because they are losing market share to cell phone companies, then pay $20 for internet on top of that. But that connection is so slow that literally, you can click on a text only email, go get a cup of coffee, do a quick trip to the toilet, and return to the computer to find the email is still loading. And they will never put in DSL here. The phone company hooked up with a cell phone company to provide broadband as required by law. So if you can't get DSL they offer you the chance to get broadband through a cell phone company that you can't get service from where you live. Nice, huh? Then there are two satellite carriers available. Those have limits of 10 gigs per month for about $60 a month. They pretend that there is only a certain amount of bandwidth that you can get from them but they keep trying to get more customers. Also, the satellite tv companies dump all the tv you want all day for a third of the price. And it doesn't get slow to load and they also want more customers. Yet the tv satellite companies don't pretend that the signal they beam is incapable of allowing unlimited use. Also, another poster mentioned the monopoly laws. Those are NOT limited to things paid for by tax money. The anti-trust and monopoly laws are simply not enforced. And the rule of thumb on those laws is that when 4 companies have 40% of the market share they are not supposed to be allowed to garner more of that market share. I don't mind paying, but I do mind getting screwed because we live in a rural area and grow food to feed people who, for $40 get all the services we pay $135 to have in limited amounts. 1 gig of data on the cell phone with unlimited talk and text is $50 for one phone,(from the one company that works here) basic satellite tv that only gives air channels some networks like TBS and cooking shows, with only MSNBC for news for $25 or so, and then $60 for limited band width (don't you dare watch a youtube video!)internet that gets slowed down to dial up if you go over your bandwidth. Anyway, it's all a load of hooey. Paying something isn't the issue. Being extorted because you live in the country IS an issue. And yes, I would like some cheese to go with my whine. Things are bad enough, there is no need to make anything up. ~Fluffy "Never interrupt an enemy in the process of destroying himself." Quercitin and zinc...Get it. Take it.
