In the short term, limited Internet access to educational resources is of benefit to education - for some. It can be argued that such efforts advance the field of distance learning and even our understanding of access requirements, for eventually making the benefits available to all.

But, when people don't matter in the short term, they will not matter at all.
People are the only thing that matter.
