I read free to mean "free as in freedom" in the headline, I'm glad it simply meant as in beer. However, the "as in freedom" is not only much more important, but also in serious disrepair already.. A prerequisite for a free (as in freedom) internet requires that traffic be routed to and from every subscriber, so that everyone who connects to the internet can participate in being a part of it (host their own services, free of charge or otherwise) on the same terms as everyone else.. That, fundamentally, is the requirement for a free internet, and for freedom of speech. Unfortunately, it is the one right that has been totally ignored by everyone for the past 20 years, which is how we end up with so many people being CG-NATted..
