So what do we need?

Water, food, shelter, clothing. There are probably thousands of basics 
more important than Internet access. Hell, I know people who can't 
afford transport or a 'phone and I'd put those ahead of the Internet.

I'm reminded of a time when I was complaining about having difficulty 
with the cost of running a vehicle. My father, who'd lived through the 
depression, was highly amused.
