9. It's good, but wrong. We need to regulate the Internet like a utility, and the lower the price

for everyone.

Our Internet service in this country, considering we're the ones who created it, is very high in comparison to everywhere else in the world. It's ridiculous the amount we pay.

The problem isn't that the Internet can't be made available to the poor except through government programs; the problem is that the Internet providers charge too goddamned much to everyone, and if it came at realistic and regulated prices, even the poor could afford it.
