That should be illegal. It's discrimination for a basic service.
>Internet service isn't just entertainment: It is communication, banking, and lots of very basic things folks need in life.
You can still walk into the bank. Checking your account from home is cool, but hardly a vital thing.
>Many jobs require internet access to apply: Fewer and fewer take any sort of paper applications and not everywhere has kiosks to apply and test at (low paying jobs, at least). Heck, game disks are getting rarer, so you sometimes need to be online to use a PC game. Lots of research for school papers is done online.
I doubt they can pull this shit off in a place where 25% of people have no access to the Internet. Otherwise they wouldn't find applicants.
>Also, communication. Few folks send snail mail letters anymore due to email. Chat programs work well too.
A bummer. Hardly a "human rights" issue.
