I'm not disagreeing with you, but shouldn't free Internet access come before that?

Internet access doesn't seem to be an issue.
Politics is also about making practical choices to advance humanity.

We should be making sure everyone has internet access, but hosting some basic pages is about 1000x cheaper, so no I don't think free internet access should come before that.
Anyhow. The justification is that it is an important part of a communications infrastructure.
Just like the government finances roads, etc.
