Make Internet free for all during the Covid pandemic.
The current crisis going strong, more and more pressure has been put on families to home educate their children, however due to covid there are many households now in a financial crisis too and the use of the Internet has fast become a necessity to educate and stay in touch aiding mental health.
During the current pandemic the message has been to stay at home, work from home and to educate our children from home. Internet is classified as a luxury item and is taxed as one but has become an essential item throughout this crisis
If Internet was free for all during this crisis then large amounts of pressure would be taken off the the households that are also in a financial crisis and cannot afford the luxury item that is now a requirement for daily living.
