Interesting arguments mentioned above. I definitely think the internet should be treated as a public utility (aka non-profit) – especially since the government in large part created the internet - which means it was funded by tax payer money (We, the people). I wonder if the right question is being asked? Should private corporations have a right to bribe and steal from the public's utilities for their own profit? Do US Citizens (or any others for that matter) have a right to NOT be financially raped by corporations? Do the poor have less of a right to access to the internet? How interesting @puukallistajathat that there are countries out there that give their people, not corporations, more rights.
