Assignment

Providing internet access is as important as other services such as building roads,so the government should offer internet access to all of their citizens at no cost.

When it comes to broadband internet-that’s the world class kind of network we should have-we’re behind America, Korea, Japan and a whole host of other developed countries. So just like electricity,a road grid or a postal service,internet access with very high-capacity and high-speed should be provided by the government in every city as well as remote areas.

The logic behind enhanced public internet access is plain. We know that internet as a utility become almost more like a platform that for the next economy just as the postal service ended up being a platform for the integration of the country. But the larger vision is that it's an input into absolutely everything we do,including entertainment, social life, cultural life, economic growth and so on,particularly as economy moves more towards being an information-services based economy. Moreover,we are certainly an agricultural nation. Since future products that don't exist yet can't pay for the services they'll need to thrive, taxpayers need to build the platform in order to prepare for the next economy.

Second of all,internet access,although being highly government-centric and yet due to the lack of regulation and competition,is usually charged too much and delivered too little by cable company.Most people in most cities don't have a bunch of choices for the internet -they have one choice which is a local monopoly. What happens is that because of deregulation if one cable company occupies the market of entire sector or neighborhood,others will be unable to provide services any more.Since there is only one company has the ability to control that market,it would be a fool not to reap its rewards,discriminate price and make lots of profits,which drives prices up and provide limited access.So,if the state offers internet access,this will not be an issue at all.

However,some people might argue that a project of this size under political circumstance requires tremendous investments and changes in the way we deliver fundamental infrastructure,and thus is like any daydreams which are impossible to realize.Though such argument sounds certainly reasonable,with fiber penetration moving rapidly ahead,one must think ahead. So, the first step is to find someone who understands this issue and understands that we're falling further and further behind and is concerned about our future as a nation. This requires long-term thinking.

As I mentioned above,if our government addressed the issue of public internet access, it will be beneficial both to the citizen as an individual and the nation as a whole. Going forward, wider availability of internet access will enable China to become one of the great powers for fields related to science and technology,economy,military,space exploration and among others in the world, and thus will lead the world in the information age.
