It would help prepare this country's citizens to better compete in the world economy, in which we are currently losing ground fast.

Most other advanced nations don't just have better healthcare, they have better Internet too.

Welcome to the new third world. We really need to play catch up now.
My school has a computer lab open from 8am-10pm for students (Monday-Saturday). You can do your research there (or in the schools library) and print your reports. You can also use microsoft word and powerpoint. Don't forget free wifi that you can use with your computer. Claiming "I don't have a computer so I can't go to school and educate myself" is bullshit. I've gone by at night and seen single mothers in there busting their asses to better their lives. Hell, you can go buy a used $200 laptop and stop at any starbucks or McDs and get free Wifi.

Or you can get the Comcast 4g wireless internet for $30 a month.

No need for Government Internet. The private sector is doing a great job with it.
