Writer argues big tech should pay to fix the broken internet
Original: The internet has broken – again. Shouldn’t the tech firms that make billions from it pay to fix it? | Chris Stokel-Walker
The Guardian has published an opinion piece by Chris Stokel-Walker arguing that the internet has broken down again and questioning whether the large technology companies that profit from it should bear the cost of keeping it reliable. The column frames recurring outages as a structural problem caused by firms earning billions from infrastructure they do not fully pay to maintain, and calls for them to fund fixes.
Why now: A recent internet outage has renewed debate over who should pay for keeping online infrastructure reliable.
