Internet access a basic right ?

if you're looking at the consitution its not more a right than indoor plumbing and sewage.... but that's also provided by cities... saw this on CNN this morning... seems like a great idea to me... with the emergence of the internet as such and important communication and research and business tool today... seems only natural that it would develop into a given....

But you pay for those "services". If you can't pay, you don't get (at least not for very long and unless you are on complete welfare, but lets not go there). The city "requires" usually that you have indoor plumbing and such. If you go out to the rural areas, there are still places that have outhouses, etc.


So, no those are not rights, they are modern conveniences...
