In this day and age, internet access is vital for the majority of students and the adult workforce. Even when a job itself does not require internet access, the application process often does—and so do most forms of schooling. Therefore, internet access should be considered a necessary utility and should be guaranteed to all households. Some fear that changes to the internet provider industry will force layoffs and disrupt company profits. While this will almost certainly happen, it is a minor hurdle compared to the enormous benefit to society at large. Making the internet accessible to all will be a boon for equality and help millions of people. We cannot afford to wait any longer.
