Everything on The Internet is going to cost you, somehow. Real superhighways are funded by the state, and are supported through state taxes, automobile registration fees, and fines resulting from abuse of the superhighway. You are not allowed to consume alcohol while traversing real superhighways. If you read most of the traffic on The Internet, you would assume that most of the authors have consumed alcohol or other contraband substance recently. You need a license to drive on a real superhighway.
Any damn fool can drive on The Internet.
Really bad accidents involving tractor, trailers and motorcycles occur on real superhighways. Really bad accidents involving people that meet through computers occur on The Internet. The price of gasoline is inversely proportional to its distance from the real superhighway. Electricity is cheap. Real superhighways connect population centers with efficient high-speed roads and remote locations via bumpy, dangerous rural farm roads.
