Noncommercial internet. Original style.

Make the internet more like the telephone network, not the TV network. People do not like to be hounded by telemarketers day and night.

The telephone network IS houndd by telemarketers. That is the term's origin.

But we've tried to regulate this. The telephone has some utility besides just being a marketing channel.

With TV, it's a lost cause.
