Is internet access a right???


80% Say Internet Access A Right

Nearly half of those surveyed in an international poll said they did not think they could cope without the Internet.

Nearly four in five adults across 26 countries, including the United States, believe Internet access is a fundamental right, a survey released Monday showed.

Not surprisingly, a larger percentage of Internet users believe access is a right than non-Internet user, 87% versus 71%, the poll, conducted by GlobeScan for the BBC World Service, found. Countries with the highest percentages included South Korea, 96%; Mexico, 94%; and China, 87%. (see article here)
