I believe the price is stopping it. Getting a telco to give you massively reduced rates on a few domains is drastically different than paying for internet access for everybody. Also, please correct me if I am mistaken, but I.org doesn't prevent you actually paying for full internet access?
- nileshtrivedi 11y agoThey could put data caps. They could support it with ads. Both of which give neutral access to full open internet. If it has to be _few_ domains only, they could let the user chose his preferred domains on the 1st of every month. But no, they want to sell the poor out to the highest bidders.
- ckrusk 11y agoadding ads will just make the already slow internet slower. loading content + ads is not good for the customer.
- nileshtrivedi 11y agoOnly if the ads are loaded in parallel with the content. The ads can very well be like TV or YouTube ads.
- rando3826 11y agoThere is nothing more costly about providing open internet than closed internet. If you only look at certain domains, those domains will subsidize the price. It's pushing two things unnecarily into one. It's like, if you can pay for internet if you sell your kidney, then saying internet access with kidneys is too expensive.
