Here's a story I found on BoyGeniusReport.com. I think part of progressing as a society is the availability of information and knowledge. Where can one find more knowledge than the internet? If this comes to fruition, it will be a huge step in the right direction.

Score one for Google and company as the FCC has cleared the way for the use of the white space spectrum for free, nationwide wireless internet service. Calling the reports of interference by the opposition as being “overblown”, recent tests conducted by FCC engineers in Seattle showed that the white space could be used for wireless internet service without a significant risk of harmful interference. Bad news for T-Mobile who has vehemently opposed the plan as their recently launched 3G network, which they purchased for $4 billion a few years ago by the way, borders this white space spectrum. D’oh! The FCC is expected to finalize the rules for the usage and allocation of the spectrum in preparation for an auction sometime in early to mid-2009. Free wireless Internet access that will reach 50% of the U.S. population in four years and 95% within a decade? Bring it on!
There's a company that was selling laptops, and they run a promotion. When you buy a laptop, they send the same type of laptop to a 3rd world country. This gives people access and information, something that will raise them out of poverty, because knowledge becomes power.

i think that it shows progression tha we will have free internet. we always talk about the nation being to commercial and how soon they will be selling us our air. this is giving us the benifits of a technological society and helping everyone. not only the rich people.
