But the idea of making it totally free to use just pie in the sky and
silly to boot.

Just another example of the political parties trying to buy votes.


So we are told we are supposed to be wary of Huawei becuase of alleged
ties to it's governemnt - and then fully embrace the idea of our own
government providing "free" broadband to us all?

Even if the various government agencies already have more surveillance
data than they can handle, this is still a step too far.
