>
> | Free Speech and feasibility as a positive right by way of intro
"Positive rights" (what are these really called?)
we have a bias against them (see Decl. of Human Rights: health)
free public education, though. It isn't without precedent. |

> | Expansions of the speech right
right to speak anonymously, for instance |

< | Subsection A |
>
> | In the 21st century, will you be able to speak "usefully" if you can't self-publish? Does access to the new public square require broadband? How about quasi-public square areas (shopping malls as public space in CA). I argue yes. Why? |

< | Subsection B |
>
> | Widespread Broadband Can Enhance Speech
It's not just consumption--this network lets you participate
E-government (is this speech? privacy concerns)
It's cost-prohibitive to give everyone a printing press or even inkjet cartridges--but it's not cost-prohibitive to give everyone (access to) a blog site for self-publishing
Importance of the always-on quality: reliability, addressability (IPv6?)
- Broadband
- video as the future? Something beyond video requiring more bandwidth? Media matters: Nixon Kennedy debates and who won based on which medium used.

You are entitled to restrict access to your paper if you want to. But we all derive immense benefit from reading one another's work, and I hope you won't feel the need unless the subject matter is personal and its disclosure would be harmful or undesirable.
To restrict access to your paper simply delete the "#" on the next line: |
>
> | Network effect (positive externalities)--networks are more useful when anyone you want to reach is on the network. These externalities are disregarded by the current broadband oligopoly, which doesn't see the benefits of rolling out to rural New England (or, say, urban WV) |
