Is this Internet 2 for real, or is it a figment of someone's imagination? Sounds a bit silly.

I don't think it would really be free.
It would just be the property tax paying the tab.
And this property tax payer says:
No thanks, I already pay enough taxes!!!!

considering how "cheap" the low cost stuff is at the Libraries.... if thats the plan of attack its a useless idea.

Totally free..ie paid for by pop up ads wont work until the market rebounds in another 2 years....further...would free even be legal considering the ontario decision just handed down?
