Is the Internet a right or a privilege?

Sorry guys driving is NOT a right it IS a priviledge one granted by the state by virtue of a drivers license, which can be REVOKED

the right to movement does not either implicity or explicitly apply to driving only to come and go as you please, so to speak.

By the same token the internet is closer to a right but still isn't one, simply put it isnt free, you must or someone must pay for you to use it. While there are no drivers licenses for the internet Im not so sure it wouldnt be a bad idea (LOL JK)

It could be argued that there IS a right to PURCHASE internet connectivity but in no way is the internet a right.
