Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg this week argued that a basic level of Internet service should be as readily available as access to 911.
"In the future, everyone should have access to basic Internet services ... even if they haven't paid for a data plan," Zuckerberg wrote in an
op-ed for
The Wall Street Journal. "And just as basic phone services encouraged more people to get phones, basic Internet services will encourage many more people to get a data plan."
He pointed to the fact that anyone can call 911 even without a phone plan. A similar option for the Web should also exist, he argued.
