Congress is considering a bill to accelerate installation of internet fiber everywhere.

This practical boost would be very useful, but watch out for three points the article doesn't mention:

• If the "innovations in applications and services" are as malicious as the existing applications and services, then far from being beneficial, they will saddle us with a struggle to avoid using them.
• The networks that invite us to connect might, perhaps through sheer inattention, be designed so they require us to run nonfree software to get connected.
• Those networks may make ever user identify perself, as a so-called security measure.

These concerns are not mere speculation. The reason I do not have fiber internet is that I could not find a way to get that connected without connecting to a web site and running its nonfree software.
