Internet Tycoon Proposes a Public Internet Network

There have been several people who have tossed around the idea of having a public Internet, but the idea has never taken shape. An Internet company based out of San Francisco, California is bringing the idea back to mainstream media.

Seattle, WA (prHWY.com) June 19, 2012 - There have been several people who have tossed around the idea of having a public Internet, but the idea has never taken shape. An Internet company based out of San Francisco, California is bringing the idea back to mainstream media.

"Right now we have several different companies that have control over the Internet", said Paul Jones, CEO of Internet for the People. "This can make it difficult if you travel regularly for work because some of the Internet access points aren't accessible then you have to pay to use the Internet at a hotel."

Paul Jones has developed an extensive plan that would allow individuals to purchase a public Internet plan that allows them to gain access to the Internet anytime, anywhere in the coverage area. Under the proposed plan, individuals would have to pay only a onetime yearly fee to gain access to the public Internet. The only time money would be requested from individuals if should maintenance costs come up.

"Basically these people purchase a onetime entrance fee that grants them access to the network", said Jones. "Then the only time we will bill individuals if it there is a maintenance issue that requires us to bill our customers. It's kind of like a community Internet basis, where we share it."

Jones has not been able to work out the finer details about how wide the Internet coverage would be, or how individuals who use high amounts of data or bandwidth would be handled.

"Currently we are working out how to handle people who may overuse the network to download movies, music and other things", said Jones. "While we would love to offer a truly unlimited network that just isn't possible at this time we have to put some type of cap on it. That way it prevents people from downloading items and using all the bandwidth."

If the current plan were to go into effect everyone would be able to purchase into the public network. The proposed cap would not affect over 90% of the people who use the Internet.

"The cap we have proposed would only really place a limit on those who overuse the Internet for movie downloads or music download", said Jones. "People get all up in arms about the limit, and it really won't impact most of the people, because they just simply do not come close to that type of Internet usage."
