      I want the internet to be a network of digital libraries…communication and sharing space…personal pages…services…the commercial motive starts from there and eventually consumes the rest :/

        I reckon without the rule changes in 1993-94 allowing commercial use that the internet would have turned into a significantly more useful utility with higher quality innovation than the advert laden train wreck that we have now.

        For this to happen, everyone using the internet should know HTML or there has to be a easy to use, MS Word-like web designer. And there should also be easy to use, free web hosting providers (neocities exists).

        Owning a website as a non-techie should be normalized and be portrayed as “cool”

      Do online multiplayer video games count as a commercial use? I kind of like those
