Should you have a right to broadband?
By Charles Cooper, cnet News.com

News.com reports that Silicon Valley's favorite parlor game is to try  
to predict the next big thing. I don't want to spoil the fun, but  
tomorrow's transforming technology event is not going to be a new  
piece of software code or a smaller, faster mobile-computing device.  
The big change on the horizon is the move to enshrine access to a  
broadband connection as a basic right of citizenship. The slogan is  
being picked up here and abroad by a collection of interest groups  
and policymakers who view broadband as just too important to leave  
anymore to the vagaries of the private sector.
