A free sevice will have its cons while a paid service will center on

A "free of charge" internet is an illusion, because running a internet network
requires significant human as energy resources which are not "free" available
on any market. A "free of charge" in the meaning of "free of money charge"
works usually in two ways:
- the user have to "pay" with other "goods" - i.e. his personal data and/or
awareness/lifetime (i.e. to consume ads or similiar)
- the service has to be paid by others which wont use that service (or won't
use the ressources they have to pay for)
btw: There still ARE networks / projects offering "money cost free" or "cost
free" internet services on a commercial and even private / non-commercial level
which are by principle available around the globe. I.e. paying broadband
customers are offering "free" hot spot networks or meshed network access
against each other constributor and/or "external" users (he spend bandwidth
for "free" to others). There is no government required which generates
additional costs for others and destroys free markets of IP access services.
And not at least:
There is no "internet access" type or service nor access media for "all" as
usage profiles highly differ and differentiation is rising more and more.
A "public free" service must cover most or any of them to be "network neutral"
on a minimum level - but even this would be just overkill.
If YOU mean that "many" others would an autonomous system / internet access
network system providing "free" service in a kind you and your colleagues want
it you are free to found an non commercial or commercial organisation which
builds that network and runs it "for free" for you or the ones who want it
"free" while others in your organisation are "free" to pay for you.
This is freedom - pressing others to pay for you would be robbery instead even
if you do it with a "democratic majority" against any minority in your country.
cheerioh,
Niels.
