You don't always just wait until you're neck deep in the consequences to begin considering the solving it. If there's a well-established tendency for a problem to occur, it's prudent to consider measures that may prevent it and/or have contingencies ready for such events. Especially when there is documented historical precedent AND potential solutions. Moreso when it is regarding a resource that having reasonable access to can have very real, material effects on people's lives. The obvious examples being clean water, electricity, and various means of communication, reliably and affordably available. It's hardly a discussion at this point as to whether internet access is one of those resources, so it seems entirely acceptable to risk overshooting on protecting access.
