I'm not sure if that needs broadband, per se. Universal wireless access, perhaps.
What the world needs is more pirates!

If it is free for some, is should be free for all.

Make mine wireless please.

Oh, and wireless isn't useful by itself, so I'll need a mobile handheld unit also.

Oh, and mobile access isn't useful if you're not mobile, so I'll need a pony also. (I always wanted a pony !)

No worries. This is a UN proposal, therefore it is global in nature. You are being discriminated against because somebody else is not paying for your 'free' broadband.

The Man is holding you down, sister! Rise up against The Establishment and demand your rights!
