    Ah yes when the money that we give monthly to connect dries up. Yes that money will certainly dry up sometime

      You’re mixing ISP fees with Ad/monetized content revenue (the “web business model”). One is a shortcut to not having build your own infrastructure and the other is for people we don’t really need for the internet to function.

            It is a series of tubes. At no point does the webshop business model make the internet itself work. Happy to be of assistance

              Did I not make that statement about how we don’t need the webshop business model? You just need a tube to connect to the series of tubes. You can pay someone for the tube or make your own damn tube.

                Yes. So still, the isp that buy networks so they get built, then you can rent cable access from them. It’s like you are confusing my position with yours?

                    “A new internet may come when the money for this one dries up” I refute it because it is just cabling and it’s not going anywhere
