very true, i'm supportive of poorer areas getting internet service myself. The point of the internet was to be a free resource, supported by donations when it was invented. Google deserves to lose it's control that it's had and token advantage of for the last 8-7 years they have no right to have as much control. Same with ISPs, just because they so happen to own the pipes we use and with little competition.
