---- Vint Cerf: Internet Access is Not a Human Right

Brilliant article - makes a lot of sense.

Love his example -

For example, at one time if you didn’t have a horse it was hard to make a living. But the important right in that case was the right to make a living, not the right to a horse. Today, if I were granted a right to have a horse, I’m not sure where I would put it.

Surely a 'Human Right', (if one ever does exist - other topic!), is one that affects all humans. So, are those guys living in the middle of the Amazon rainforest suffering because they don't have Internet Access?

I doubt it. I'm sure they would not be that bothered.
