yea :)
someone with my thinking
I am proposing something like this to my
local/regional council :)

Why should I pay AU$40 (and have a 12/36 months
contract) to get on the
Internet to view the local/regional websites for my
area?

I still think there needs to be a cost if you are
accessing
international websites
