Show Notes

In today's episode we talk about the recent announcement from Joe Biden about taxpayer-subsidized internet.

Many people across the Internet were actually not happy with this, and we believe it's because people have long believed that Internet is a luxury.

Here's the problem - Internet was a luxury, but "Big Business" has changed to essentially force it, yet wide swaths of America don't have decent coverage.

We dive into our rebuttals from a technologist perspective, and why we think Internet should actually be a utility by now - not just a paid utility, but an essential service as part of the infrastructure and pre-wired to every home for basic speeds (10Mbps up)/5Mbps down).
