They only think of politicking not common sense. What is the need for such a law that he is proposing? First of all, there were no current laws in the book preventing people from accessing the internet through broadband or any other mean. The law is already natural if it is a law about communications or freedom of expression. I am sure Brazil already has such law in their constitution. I do not see any reasons not to fund infrastructure projects, but government paying for internet access for the citizenry is not a good law anywhere in the world.

Specially in India when thing are getting more and more beyond the means of majority of poor, they are being conferred rights after rights.
