That's funny..."Un-American".  I wouldn't go that far.

There is no such thing as "free" internet.  Access costs money.

You can hide it in taxes, create a money pool to pay for services, or
donate it, but at the end of the day, someone has to pay the bill.

Even non-internet community networks, like SeattleWireless, cost real
money to operate.

paint community Internet as an affront to American innovation and free
enterprise.
