There are so many wonderful benefits from having internet service and it connects people from remote places to major cities internationally. Internet is a necessity and in my mind, I believe that it should be free just like the air we breathe. It's interesting when you look at travel sites, sometimes, the hotel actually advertises "free internet" and it is surprising to me because that cost should be embedded to the hotel cost.
Once you have experienced internet, it is nearly impossible to go without it.
Similarly, cell phone service should also be free because it is essential to stay connected to those we love and in business. Many children have their own cell phones nowadays in America. In middle school, teachers encourage the use of cell phones for in class research. Kids also need internet to complete papers, homework assignments, and to get in touch with their teachers because so many aspects of education is becoming virtual. In fact, the best way to receive information about grades and attendance is though specialized apps available via internet and cell phones.
The cost for internet and cell phone service combined is over 300.00 a month and it seems ridiculous. That is almost as expensive as our monthly grocery bill.

I noticed that the cell phone companies used to offer free phones for committing to 2 years of service and that has vanished. Instead, they offer a monthly payment plan and it turns out that it is more expensive than the former method. They always seem to find a way to keep increasing your monthly bill. The more fees that they integrate into the monthly plan, it appears that they are minimizing the actual costs to the consumer, but in fact, costs have increased astronomically.
Seriously, do the cell service companies really need to charge activation fees and fees to transfer data from an existing phone to a new phone in addition to the hefty monthly service charges, not to mention the added taxes.!
We need more competition in this arena so that our monthly rates diminish altogether. Everyone in the world benefits from being able to have free communication access and transfer of information regardless of where you live or income level.
