Nice response. It's true that highways carry both commercial and non-commercial traffic, and that trucks and commercial vehicles clog up highways and make it worse for non-commercial traffic. There is also a difference between the internet (communication infrastructure) and the web (stuff that uses it), which I was wary of, so the analogy isn't perfect in OP's context.

But the vision of an information "superhighway" should be something that is better than regular highways. The good news is that network bandwidth is much easier to add than highway lanes, and is increasing at a much faster rate than human bandwidth.
