This issue is so important, the internet is the most freeing tool mankind has ever created, it allows one to educate themselves on a range of topics, and that knowledge is power. Moreover, that power was previous unreachable for most of the world who could not pay for education, or position themselves in the area of the world where that teaching was occurring. The internet being free changed that access issue and that is beautiful.
Shutting off, or limiting access to that data-base of knowledge, on the basis of some pay-to-play internet billing will really hurt the poorest people's access, and diminish the freeing power of the tool itself.
Perhaps this article will provide some hope in this matter:
I have read that Elon Musk is striving to send 4,425 satellites into orbit in order to "blanket the Earth with internet access".

This number of satellites would reportedly cost 10 Billion, and the number 4,425 is particularly impressive when you realize that Earth only has 2,271 right now.

Somewhat encouraging but what’s to stop Musk from doing the same thing as the big cable companies? We all know that isn’t his style but you never know. Maybe he decides to sell his interest in such a venture and new ownership does what new ownership sometimes does. Plus, satellite internet has serious drawbacks. Specifically, ping times which are terrible for things like online video gaming. I also heard that Tesla is hemorrhaging money right now. I haven’t verified that by checking out the sources so it could be completely untrue. I think the obvious solution is get the gop out of control lol
