The analogy between online ads and highway is very weak. #1 highway is essential, they provide transport. Online ads on the other hand, is not. In the sense that most ads are for arousing consumerism impulse. (No I am not arguing ads is wrong or something, I was saying if they are not as essential ad highway) #2 highway is physical and does not infringe privacy. Online ads are virtual, and blindly intrusive to privacy. #3 highway is regulated as infrastructure, internet ads companies are not. And they are ferociously resisting being treated as infrastructure.
