Should cities offer free wifi?
Hook
165 jobs in Calgary require you to use a cell phone. Imagine you are in debt and need to use wifi for your job. What can you do if you cant afford the pricey cost of over 30$ per month of cellular?
[With more and more options for jobs falling with inflation, do you think everyone can afford simple phone connection?
Specialized info
Over 77 thousand people need a job currently.
The current price of cellular is 35-100$ for good services.
History and background
Wifi originated in the mid 1990s.
The original standard was 802.11 IEEE.
Vic hayes is the father of wifi
Argument #1: Small Buisnesses
New businesses would be able to do the necessary online work to get going.
Some entrepreneurs don't have the resources to start off their business.
Companies shouldnt have to pay tons of money for a network connection.
Argument #2: High price of cellular
The current price of cellular ranges from 30-100$ per month. This greatly affect the lower class people looking for a job.
Cheaper cellular companies don't really give good service, so the 50$ ones are the ones that you have to pay for real jobs.
If cities gave free wifi, it would be very convienient for everyone in the city.
Argument #3: Why should cellular exist.
After the creation of wifi, i dont believe cellular data is useful at all.
I believe phone companies should divert their attention to making routers all over the city for people instead of improving their current cellular services
If the municipal governments paid the companies this, it would help everyone so much more.
Thesis statement
Cities should offer free wifi because jobs and services would become very accessible to lower class people and small businesses.
