I think it's better to ask the opposite question:
Does anyone have the right to deny a person connectivity?
Or more generally:
Does anyone have the right to deny a person access to knowledge?
And I continue by thinking about the question:
Does a government have the right to limit anyone's freedom without a fair and open judicial process?

- JoshTriplett 13y agoThat is indeed a better way to ask it. The answer to both your questions and to the question in the article title is "no". Don't deny connectivity, don't guarantee connectivity, just get out of the way and let people connect.
