We can have philosophical arguments about the social contract or questions about what we may consider to be unalienable rights, but that does not make the reality that infrastructure has costs any less true... A government that wishes to assure citizens access to a resource may do so as a part of the social contract, but that would mean that they would underwrite the cost...  Otherwise how does access occur?  A service that doesn't charge the end user may recoup costs in showing adds, gathering information or developing customer loyalty.  I think we would all agree that those are just costs of a different nature...

Dear Joe,

I hope that my intervention in the discussion with Michel is not a 
disturbance.

What we can delegate on positive tasks to the representative state 
organisations other then to organize an environment, that are helpful 
for the people and her activities? This is the only substantiation for 
their existence.

And if we understand, that the free communication over geografical and 
time distances is a basic instrument to organize our life in a network 
oriented structure then we come immediately to the point to organize the 
communication as a task of the society for the the society. As a task of 
the community for the community.

This means also, to disolve all private interests in the organisation of 
the immaterial transportsystems, in the transport system for information.

And if we follow the technical requirements for data transport we 
immediatly come to the same results.

many greetings, willi
