Governments and technology companies baulk on about providing wifi to undervalued communities across the world in the name of progress and development. Of course Wifi should be free because your taxes paid for the infrastructure, same goes for energy and water utilities, they should also be provided at no cost to ordinary users.

My "taxes" didn't pay for any of that - it's all done by private industry

But thanks for playing

“your taxes” didn’t pay for the build out of the modern internet infrastructure.
Private corporations get big tax breaks and government investment at your expense pals.
