<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Thanks Garth. I will
definitely check this out. It is interesting to see this
question of Internet as public utility come up at all, let alone
on public radio. Well, it would be weird to have a public
utility only for certain areas/populations. <br>

In this episode of The Current, the question - should the Internet be a public utility? - is actually asked, if not quite answered However this does only emphasize the rural in the question of digital equity. I don’t think you get to the argument for Internet being a public utility until you add in the huge dimensions of digital equity issues in urban environments.
