>I fundamentally disagree however that internet access (limited or otherwise) is fundamentally necessary for child development, or academic success or education in general. I don't think that's true for many parts of the world, where the level of education attainable through standard means would hardly meet your standard of what is deemed reasonable. For such places, the internet is the only way for children to make steps towards that standard, albeit not easily.
