I think that's exactly what they should do, if they're serious about this: just find a way to offer everyone the whole internet for free. If something must be compromised, then compromise speed, not access to sites. Sites that want to reach poor people would just have to practice draconian bandwidth discipline. At least that way, sites could opt in on their own terms, rather than having to kowtow to some consortium of rich people.
- Quanticles 11y agoEveryone is complaining - why don't other people offer free internet? Just do it yourself
- rabbyte 11y agoShould we not discuss our concerns for how people around the world connect to the same network? There are a number of people working on this problem, people who can handle the funding and work involved, but that still leaves room for us to comment on policy that will shape the way large populations interact with the rest of the world.
