The arguments against this proposal are so specious that I am protesting against the NO position!
The only argument AGAINST that I appreciate is the one that asks why other more egalitarian public needs are not met by offering free services - like mass transit, etc. I like that question!

I see no dollar amounts anywhere in the discussion. How can I vote on something without knowing the cost?

At first glance this is very appealing - but internet access is not a necessity of life. Would the city provide free cable tv access to everyone? I am dubious that this would be of real value. Providing more computers for public use in the city libraries might be just as useful, and much less expensive.
