Broadband as a Public Utility

I am currently in Memphis Tennessee traveling for business and here in my residence Marriott hotel room I have high speed internet access, that is free but for $149.99 per night is it really free? Is internet access really becoming a utility like water, gas, electricity? A basic commodity that everyone relies on. I don't think so just yet. Most of the people that think it is have used the internet for many years, but I think there are still many sections of the population who still do not live to get online everyday. Unfortunately like I do!

Check out the free press community internet web site for some interesting details on many of the states who are aggressively moving to restrict open wireless and wired broadband network deployments.
