Should you have a right to broadband?
By Charles Cooper, cnet News.com
News.com reports that Silicon Valley's favorite parlor game is to try
to predict the next big thing. I don't want to spoil the fun, but
tomorrow's transforming technology event is not going to be a new
piece of software code or a smaller, faster mobile-computing device.
The big change on the horizon is the move to enshrine access to a
broadband connection as a basic right of citizenship. The slogan is
being picked up here and abroad by a collection of interest groups
and policymakers who view broadband as just too important to leave
anymore to the vagaries of the private sector.
