Broadband isn't a right nor is it a utility, it's a convenience and a valuable resource. If you cannot unplug yourself from the coax or the phone line to go about your daily business, you are in dire need of a life.

It's a luxury utility.
Last thing we want is it declared as a RIGHT, because that means people who refuse to pay for it will demand we pay for it for them. |

Way back when, on the farm, we didn't have electricity, running water, and Television hadn't been invented yet. You got your water by a manual pump at the well, and you carried it in the house in buckets. We heated with wood that we chopped ourselves. We used candles and oil (hurricane) lanterns for light, but most activity ceased at dusk anyway.
Telephone? You went down to the General Store and used the phone there. There was no dial, no pushbuttons, either. You turned a crank. And a live person would come on the line and ask what party you wanted to reach.
Yep, telephone was a luxury, and so was electricity and running water. We lived just fine without them for the first 60,000,000 years of the human race.

Email and the telephone ARE daily business for most people. A job where you could unplug from both sounds like a luxury to me.
