There seem to be some technologies, like telephones and indoor pluming that aren't really "rights" but when treated in a rights-ish manner, make everyone's lives much better. If a rich 1% decided that they'd rather have the money it took to build the sewer system for their town than the sewer, their lives would become worse, not better despite having the extra money(1). If only the super rich had phones, they'd be nearly useless(2). Internet access is certainly looking like its shaping up to be one of those things. 1) And everyone else would be much much worse off. 2) The phones, not the rich, but both come to think of it.
