Do you feel the Internet is free?
Question:
Do you feel the Internet is free?
Thoughts:
I have mixed feelings about the internet being free. Those feelings for the internet range from wonder to disbelief to equanimity and are all tied to whether or not the internet will remain an open space -not free. Because it certainly isn't free -except maybe in libraries; but that's just shifting the cost though.

"That is a good question, but it's slightly confused. The Internet isn't free when you use free in the sense of 'zero-cost.' However, the Internet is free in the sense of 'freedom.' When I have paid to connect to the Internet and you have paid to connect to the Internet, the rule is that you and I can communicate. You don't have to make a special arrangement with my Internet service provider." [1]
